This research is focused on the development of recommendations and guidance on the use of thin bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA) as a rehabilitation alternative for California based on the
This project will investigate the unique challenges and barriers faced by landlords and management of Multi-Unit Dwellings in deploying EV charging infrastructure, with a focus on equity considerations and community engagement. By addressing these barriers, the study has the potential to significantly impact EV adoption rates, aligning with California's ambitious goals and setting a precedent for nationwide implementation.
This three-chapter dissertation will study the reasons behind the decisions of local jurisdictions, including cities and counties, about VMT reduction levels in their environmental reviews and how local planners view equity in the process of implementing VMT-reducing strategies in the CEQA process.
This research will evaluate revenue-neutral mechanisms to encourage zero emission vehicle (ZEV) sales in California, with no net cost to taxpayers: The analysis is being done for both private

This dissertation presents a unified framework for understanding plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) usage, with special focus on household factors, user preferences, and PEV technologies. The researcher also looks at energy, emissions, and infrastructure-related factors.
This dissertation communicates results from three different studies on emissions reductions, charging infrastructure, and travel behavior associated with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
The study will utilize mathematical modeling, including artificial intelligence, to design a policy for the
optimal use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and identify charging locations for future battery electric vehicle
drivers
This project will greatly improve the understanding of the impacts of remote/hybrid work and other remote services and inform State and planning agencies by shedding light on the complex ways remote activities affect short‐term daily routines (e.g., telecommuting vs. commuting trips, travel mode choice, and spatial/ temporal trip distributions) and long‐term choices (vehicle choice, residential location and real estate development), and will help understand the impacts on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and transportation‐based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission impacts.
This research aims to develop an equitable and sustainable freight‐oriented land use methodology to support future planning activities, facilitate the integration of freight activity across urban, suburban, and rural areas, and facilitate the transition of heavy‐ and medium‐duty vehicles toward zero‐emission. The project will analyze freight distribution patterns considering supply and demand and estimate social, environmental, and labor impacts in different communities.
