First graduate semester complete
My first semester at Georgia Tech wrapped up well. 15 credit hours of coursework was certainly challenging, but taking this heavy load now is going to free up time for research in future semesters.
It was my first season on Georgia Tech Crew. The team’s rowing stroke took some getting used to, but being on the team was a blast and I had the opportunity to race with some great crews.
While applying for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship again, I had the chance to narrow in on my research topic I’ll explore under my advisor Dr. Michael Meyer. My time in the next few years will be spent studying airport systems and how they relate to megaregions.
I’ve uploaded two papers that I wrote this semester to my Writings section. First, my term paper from Traffic Engineering on heterogeneous traffic in developing countries. The second is the final report from Urban Transportation Planning, where we performed a group assessment on parking policies for the BeltLine in Atlanta, an example for implementing these at transit-oriented development.
