Sharing my research poster

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Dan-Thi Nguyen, Melanie Schmidiger, and all the incredible people working tirelessly behind the scenes to make the Laidlaw Programme at EPFL such a success. I am also deeply thankful to the Laidlaw Foundation, whose vision and support make this global network possible. A big thank you as well to the inspiring workshop leaders and my fellow scholars whose energy and curiosity make this community truly special!

This summer, I carried out my research project “Data-driven Diagnostics of Public Transit Commercial Speed” at the Lab for Human-Oriented Mobility Eco-System (HOMES), under the guidance of Prof. Kenan Zhang and Dr. Cloe Cortes Balcells, in collaboration with the TPG (Transports publics genevois) in Geneva. Their unrelenting support and expertise have been invaluable throughout this work and I am deeply grateful for their incredible guidance and encouragement!

My research focused on diagnosing bottlenecks on tram line 18 and bus line 80 using large-scale vehicle trajectory data. The aim was to provide actionable recommendations to improve reliability and support sustainable urban mobility. I have learned an immeasurable amount, for which I am greatly indebted to this community!

Take a look at my poster summarizing the work.

I am excited to continue on this journey and look forward to learning more about everyone else’s projects!!
