I completed my PhD in Civil (Transportation) Engineering from the Ohio State University. I currently work as a post-doctoral researcher at the Transportation Systems Laboratory of OSU with Dr. Benjamin Coifman (home page). My research is about exploring previously unknown driving patterns using large volumes of individual vehicle freeway loop detector, probe vehicle and image processed data.

I am  currently actively looking for full-time employment in the area of transportation engineering. My areas of interest are traffic flow theory & modelling, intelligent transportation systems and automated & connected vehicles. I am also open to working in any quantitative area that is intellectually stimulating and involving data crunching to tease out patterns.

Prior to joining my PhD at OSU, I worked as research staff at the Center of Excellence in Urban Transport of the Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai, India extracting real time link travel times of a small road network using bus GPS data. I have also worked in transportation industry designing highways and streets and conducting traffic surveys for a few projects in India.
