Buoyed by the support of the @NSF, my latest endeavor is illuminating a path forward for #vulnerable communities bracing against the #wildfire's wrath. It is about turning #data into #defense and #science into #safety.

Our new article (nature.com/articles/s42...), a
@GMU_COS collab betweeen @MasonAOES and @GGSDepartment led by PhD student
@FatemehJanat and @aermagun, uncovers potential network-wide impacts of extreme heat on passenger rail in the US.
Time flies when you do what you love! Grateful for six transformative years with the @NASEMTRB Women and Gender in Transportation (AME20) committee, my first TRB "home." I look forward to AME20's continued growth and impact.
@GMU_COS @MasonResearch
Our PhD student, Fatemeh Janatabadi, is talking about detecting spatial dependence and advancing geospatial data analytics in a packed room. Even the snowstorm couldn’t keep her away!
@GMU_COS @NASEMTRB @MasonResearch
Our research team at George Mason University is excited to present lectern and poster sessions at the
@NASEMTRB Annual Meeting. Join us to engage with our presenters and gain insights into our most recent findings.

First-time experience at @theAGU Annual Meeting was a success! Our students showcased research on #climate change, community #resilience, and human #mobility in podium and poster sessions. A special thank you to the @NSF for their ongoing support!

Stay tuned as we continue to gather perishable insights and data that will help shape more #robust, #adaptive systems to safeguard our #communities and #economies against unforeseen #infrastructure failures.

Congratulations to our amazing rising high school students for completing their 8-week session! I am proud of their hard work and growth, and I loved building friendships and learning together—especially during those late-night deadline adventures!

What is the Access Weight Matrix (AWM)? We introduce a weight matrix with elements that are a function of (i) the spatial distribution of places, (ii) the number of places, and (iii) the travel-time threshold to reach places.

Which indicator should we use to measure #transit #effectiveness? We propose an #access-oriented indicator for American cities and put it to the test across the 50 most populated Metropolitan Areas.

@aermagun of @GGSDepartment spearheads a project to fortify vulnerable regions in California against wildfires. With a $397,365 @NSF grant, the team is crafting an interactive map to optimize shelter access during disasters.

Do areas with low access to opportunities suffer from a lack of transit service, lack of opportunities, or both? We propose a four-step framework to dissect the elements of place and mobility in access through the lens of equality.

Certainly, here is the tweet: Even the first sentence of the article was overlooked by everyone involved: authors, reviewers, and the editor.
A truly "double-blind" process with a three-month lead time for publication.

How does bike infrastructure serve communities in reaching destinations? Only a few areas have slightly risky bike paths and vulnerable populations are disproportionately exposed to extremely risky bike infrastructure.

Exploring #FoodDeserts in #England and #Wales: Our study finds 23% of the population has limited store and online access to food, and disadvantaged communities are disproportionately affected by food deserts.

Does activity duration influence our emotional #wellbeing? We show that positive emotions are more sensitive to activity duration, and #satisfaction with the #environment leads to a greater tolerance of longer activity durations.
