Welcome to my website!

I am a research software engineer and PhD candidate in EMSE at George Washington University, supervised by professor John Helveston. I do development and data analysis in human behavior using choice models. I develop websites and webapps using Quarto and Shiny.

Research Focus:

  1. Transportation Research: I study human behavior in sustainable transportation using discrete choice models. My work focuses on smart charging adoption and cost-benefit analysis, providing insights to help policymakers and utilities design better systems that benefit both the grid and EV owners.
  2. Open-Source Software: I develop open-source tools for survey construction and data analysis. surveydown is a flexible platform for creating surveys with , Quarto, and Shiny. sdstudio is a companion GUI for surveydown.
