3. Undergraduate Students
Dr. Ban is an academic advisor for about 30 undergraduate students who will graduate in 2013.
Resources for Advisees
We are recruiting highly motivated graduate students working in the areas
of modeling mobile sensors as traffic probes, transportation network modeling and related applications (such as congestion pricing), large-scale traffic simulation, and ITS in general.
Students with strong backgrounds in traffic engineering, mathematics or operations research, statistics, and optimal control are
encouraged to apply. Please send email directly to Dr. Jeff Ban at banx@rpi.edu.
