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 [...]
This past month I was awarded a scholarship from the Georgia Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, one of four students in the state to receive one. Three of us were from Georgia Tech and a fourth was from Southern Polytechnical State University.
Yesterday we attended the monthly meeting of the Georgia Section of the [...]
I have made the decision to pursue a Ph.D here at Georgia Tech. This decision has come after several months of tossing the idea around in my head, conversations with professors and fellow students, and discussing it with my family. My advisor does not think it too ambitious to complete an MS in Civil Engineering [...]
My graduate studies have begun this week at Georgia Tech. I have received my desk in the transportation lab, spoken with my advisor about possible research topics, and begun classes. This semester I am taking the following courses, the first four of which are required for my curriculum. They are listed below along with the [...]

On April 3, I attended MIT’s visitation day for prospective students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. After a breakfast for all students visiting the department, those of us who were accepted into the Master of Science in Transportation program, about twenty of us, were taken by Dr. Joseph Sussman to go through our [...]
On March 19, the University of California-Berkeley’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and four other potential graduate students. This was not the main visitation for prospective transportation students, which on April 10 clashed with my family trip to Cleveland, but instead was an Open House for the entire Civil and Environment Engineering (CEE) [...]
On March 13, the University of Texas’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and two other potential graduate students. The students held a cookout on Thursday night and I was introduced to 20+ folks in the program at one time. For this visit, graduate students offered up their places for us to stay, so [...]
Last week Dr. Moshe Ben-Akiva from MIT called me to let me know I was accepted into their Master of Science in Transportation program. In the follow-up email they informed me I would be funded through the MIT Energy Initiative Fellowship. This was the last school I was waiting to hear from. Their visitation is [...]
