Summer is upon us once again. As with previous years, we will have several researchers joining us for the summer as visiting scholars or graduate researcher assistants (on top of the PhD student researchers, the summer undergraduate researchers, and ARISE students that we employ). 

Dr. Tai-Yu Ma will be visiting us from LISER for the second of his three year visiting scholar program. Last year we collaborated on dispatch/positioning algorithms for bimodal shared taxi and public transit service. 

Prof. Daniel Rodriguez-Roman from UPRM is making a shorter summer stay at NYU through the Faculty Resource Network. We will be collaborating on public transit network design problems (sorely needed as the MTA plans to redesign the bus network!). 

In addition, Assel will continue to work in our lab this summer, while one of our incoming Fall 2018 PhD students, Anthony Haoran Su, will be joining us from Berkeley to start earlier in the summer. Milos Balac, a PhD student of Prof. Kay Axhausen at ETH Zurich, will also be visiting for the summer to help us with our MATSim model development. Welcome, Anthony and Milos!

Looking forward to a productive and fun summer!
