During the Spring Semester 2015, I co-taught with Dr. Gerrit Knaap a class on Research Design (URSP 805). The purpose of the course was to help to design, conduct, publish, defend and present quality research in planning and planning-related fields. This class is mandatory for PhD students in Urban and Regional Planning and Design at the University of Maryland. I co-taught a similar class in Spring 2014.

During the Fall semester 2014, I co-taught a class on transportation planning with Dr. Hiro Iseki (URSP 688). In particular, I focused on the introduction of travel demand modeling, including 4-step models, activity-based models, land-use models and freight models.

In addition, I am advising Theses and Independent Studies for students interested in urban and regional analyses and/or modeling.
