I’m a postdoctoral scholar at the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. My research focuses on transportation and land use policies and their effect on automobile dependence, air pollution, and carbon emissions.

My current research looks at parking and statewide parking policy reform. My dissertation investigated the politics and policymaking around highway expansion and transportation investments to better understand the barriers and opportunities for policy change.

Other recent work includes study of induced travel from highway expansions, quantification of project-level vehicle miles travel (VMT), and the implications of a policy shift from automobile level-of-service to VMT. I led the design, implementation, and analysis of campus-wide travel surveys at UC Davis. I have also been an instructor, teaching assistant, and guest lecturer for undergraduate courses in urban planning, research methods, environmental analysis, and transportation policy.
