Systems and Transportation Students Eisenhower Fellows

This year, three students received the prestigious Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship from the US Department of Transportation. The Program is intended to bring innovation and enhance the breadth and scope of knowledge of the entire transportation community in the United States. The program encompasses all modes of transportation.

This year’s Eisenhower Fellows are Sebastien Blandin, a Ph.D. student in Systems Engineering, working on the use of cellular phone for traffic reconstruction in the Mobile Millennium project, Weihua Gu, a Ph.D student in Transportation Engineering, working on bus queueing behavior at busy bus-stops,  Eleni Christofa, a Ph.D. student in Transportation Engineering, working on the development of a network-wide traffic responsive signal control system with signal priority for transit vehicles traveling on conflicting routes, and Kristen Carnarius, an incoming Transportation Engineering student working on optimization and implementation strategies for transportation systems.

Congratulations, Sebastien, Weihua, Eleni, and Kristen!
