I&#8217;m Hannah Younes. I graduated from University of Maryland, College Park in 2021 with a PhD in Geographical Sciences with concentrations in Transportation Planning &amp; Engineering. During my graduate studies, I focused on sustainable, low-carbon transportation and vulnerable populations. My <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=SFkDvdQAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=SFkDvdQAAAAJ:Se3iqnhoufwC\">dissertation<\/a> explored the potential of micromobility. I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Rutgers University from 2021 to 2024, working with Dr. Robert Noland and Dr. Clinton Andrews, focusing on a variety of transportation issues, including micromobility and crash detection. I am now a Senior Research Specialist at the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY | UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK | 2021<\/strong><br \/>\nDepartment of Geographical Sciences | School of Behavioral and Social Sciences<br \/>\nAdvisor: Dr. Giovanni Baiocchi<br \/>\nResearch PI: Dr. Lei Zhang<br \/>\nCommittee Members: Dr. Giovanni Baiocchi, Dr. Lei Zhang, Dr. Kathleen Stewart, Dr. Hiro Iseki, Dr. Laixiang Sun<br \/>\nResearch Interests: Transportation, Sustainability, Vulnerable Populations<\/p>\n<p><strong>BACHELOR OF SCIENCE | UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK | 2015<\/strong><br \/>\nMajor: Environmental Science &amp; Policy, Land Use Concentration<br \/>\nMinors: Mathematics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Awards &amp; Fellowships<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>NEW JERSEY CHAPTER AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION PLANNING EXCELLENCE <a href=\"https:\/\/vtc.rutgers.edu\/spring-2022-micromobility-graduate-studio-is-recipient-of-apa-nj-outstanding-student-project-award\/\">AWARD<\/a> 2022<\/p>\n<p>ANN G.
