Aditi Misra, PhD
Assistant Professor
Department of Civil Engineering
University of Colorado, Denver.
I am an Assistant Professor in Transportation Engineering at the University of Colorado, Denver. My research has mainly been in the area of safety, travel behavior and demand modeling with focus on marginalized road users. I have led multiple industry and government sponsored projects in safe shared mobility within urban transportation systems. Me and my group use statistical and econometric methods, emerging large scale data as well as small scale survey data in our research to understand how latent constructs like attitude and lifestyle influence decisions, choice patterns and behaviors.
Research Interests
The research interests of my group lie in data analytics and statistical modeling with focus on transportation related topics like travel behavior, ridehailing adoption, safety of vulnerable road users and sustainability. using emerging and novel data sources. I am also interested in connected and automated electric vehicle (CAEV) future of transportation and in understanding transportation as a complex system of systems.
