Brief Introduction
Dr. Jian Wang earned his doctoral degree in Transportation Engineering from Purdue University in the United States. He is now a faculty member of the School of Transportation at Southeast University. His main research areas include traffic network planning and management, modeling of connected and automated transportation systems, and autonomous driving control. Dr. Wang has led over 10 research projects, including those supported by the National Key R&D Program and the National Natural Science Foundation. He has published over 60 papers in renowned domestic and international journals, including nearly 20 papers in Transportation Research Part A/B/C/E. Dr. Wang has been honored with awards such as the first prize for technical invention from the China Intelligent Transportation Association, the 2020 Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award from the Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA). He has been invited to serve as a reviewer for more than 30 domestic and international journals, including Transportation Research Part A/B/C/E.
Prospective doctoral and master's students with a deep interest in research, and backgrounds in transportation, mathematics, computer science, control, communication, civil engineering, and related fields are welcome to apply.
