Teaching
I teach transportation engineering as a bridge between physical theory and modern computation, helping students move from formulating models to implementing and testing them at scale. I emphasize reproducible, hands-on practice and mentoring that prepares students for independent research.
Teaching Experience
Across two institutions I have contributed to graduate and undergraduate teaching as a lecturer and teaching assistant, and in two cases beyond the classroom by building the course itself.
Purdue University — Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering
- CE 661: Algorithms in Transportation (Graduate)
- CE 597: Network Models for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (Graduate)
- CE 597: Smart Logistics (Graduate)
- CE 597: Data Science for Smart Cities (Graduate)
Seoul National University — Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering (Undergraduate)
- Sustainable Transportation Systems
- Advanced Transportation Operation
- Leadership for Civil Engineers
- Introduction to Transportation Engineering
Mentoring
I see mentoring as teaching extended into research. From 2024 to 2025 I guided two Purdue undergraduates, Akshit Kumar Bedi and Abrar Ali, from foundational concepts toward independent investigation, helping them frame a research question, develop the necessary methods, and present their findings. Their work culminated in a poster at the 2025 CERIAS Cybersecurity Symposium, and watching them grow into confident, self-directed researchers is among the most rewarding parts of my teaching.
Courses I Can Teach
I am prepared to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in transportation engineering and related computational methods, including:
- Traffic flow theory and transportation operations
- Transportation network modeling and analysis
- Optimization and operations research for transportation
- Data science and machine learning for transportation systems
- Transportation systems analysis and planning
- Connected and automated mobility, and transportation cybersecurity
