Dr. Wang's research takes a data-driven approach to address challenging issues in planning, in particular those intersecting land use and transportation. He is currently working on a project funded by the National Institute of Transportation and Communities that investigates approaches integrating land use and transportation data from diverse sources and enables modelers and planners to rapidly incorporate new data in their models and analysis.
