Greetings! My name is Yuyan Pan (潘芋燕), it’s pronounced YOU-yen Pan.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Florida State University, working with Dr. Qianwen Guo in the RIDER Center. My work leverages volume–delay function modeling and calibration, fundamental diagram and queueing theory, traffic demand management, big data and machine learning, electric vehicle, connected and automated vehicle, and open-source transportation modeling software development, on-demand public transit and signal control.
