My graduate studies are now in their second semester at Georgia Tech. This semester I am taking the following courses, the first of which is required for my curriculum.  They are listed below along with the instructors’ names.

CEE 6605 - Transportation Administration and Policy (Dr. Michael Meyer)
CEE 6631 - Signalized Intersections (Dr. Michael Hunter)
CP 6514 - Introduction to GIS (Dr. Subrahmanyam Muthukumar)
CEE 8812-A - Ph.D Transportation Seminar (Dr. Laurie Garrow)

In addition to these courses, I am taking a 3 credit hour independent study under Dr. Garrow. Together, we are taking new looks at my crowded bus data set from Bangladesh. Our goal is to create a model that can determine the overcrowded level of a bus based on a variety of variables, using techniques I learned in her course last semester on logit models.

Under my advisor Dr. Meyer, I am embarking on my Masters thesis work which will be on airports and megaregion passenger and freight air traffic.

At the end of the semester I will be taking the written portion of the Ph.D Qualifying Exam.
