Welcome! I’m a postdoctoral scholar at the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. My research focuses on the policy and politics of transportation and planning, and the decision making processes that govern how we get around.
My current research looks at statewide parking policy reform. My recent dissertation investigated the policy and politics of highway expansion.
Other current and recent work includes study of induced travel and its inclusion in environmental review, quantification of project-level vehicle miles travel (VMT), and the implications of the policy shift from automobile level-of-service to VMT.
I received my PhD in Transportation Technology & Policy at the University of California, Davis. Prior to academia I was a research analyst at the Sacramento Area Council of Governments.
