Short Bio
I am currently a PhD candidate at the ICON Lab. My research focuses on road work zone safety, human safety behaviours, human-in-the-loop simulation, trajectory prediction, and statistical modelling. My PhD research contributes to improving road work safety by investigating how drivers and road workers respond to work zone intrusions and alarms provided by Work Zone Safety Technologies (WSTs) under critical scenarios. The research aims to support evidence-based decision-making regarding the adoption, implementation, and evaluation of WSTs in road work zones.
