Founder and CEO of Metropia, Inc.

I devote my professional career to solving challenging urban mobility management problems, balancing my time between academic research and applied technology at Metropia. My journey started in the academic sector, developing a complex, large-scale mesoscopic vehicular traffic simulation and assignment model called DynusT. This tool continues to help government agencies, professional firms, and academics study investment-worthy supply and demand strategies. Over the last decade, through my work at Metropia, I have expanded these explorations from supply-side modeling to active, demand-side solutions. By applying incentives and motivational strategies in the real world, my goal is to anchor behavior change that empowers the traveling public to make smarter travel decisions during their daily commutes.
MY LATEST RESEARCH
This is my 2013 TEDx talk on Active Demand Management using incentives, information to motivate motorists to adjust their behavior in a baby step to their own travel and to benefit the entire system.
This is a DynusT/DynuStudio simulation demo on a Portland OR case study. This video illustrates various visualization capabilities in DynuStudio. More video examples can be found here.
Metropia, the company I founded in 2012, aims to persuade and incentivize commuters for taking steps to explore more mobility options. We build a Mobility-as-a-Service&Tool (MaaS&T) platform based on the Active Demand Managment research we started in 2010.
In DynusT.Net you can find everything about DynusT, from publications, video tutorials, to download links to try the free version and to buy the Pro version.
