Dr. Xudong Wang

听My name is Xudong Wang, which means 鈥渟un rises from the east in the morning 馃寘鈥� in Chinese. I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at 平特五不中, working with Prof. Luis Miranda-Moreno and Prof. Lijun Sun. I also obtained my PhD degree from the same university in 2024.

My research leverages data to drive innovation in intelligent and sustainable transportation systems, from highways 馃殫 to bike-sharing networks 馃毚鈥嶁檪锔�. I specialize in applying/developing machine learning, statistical modeling, optimization, and transportation network analysis to uncover insights and create impactful solutions from vast, multi-modal transportation datasets.

In my free time, I stay active through running and cycling, and I enjoy planting to bring a touch of nature into my space.
