I am currently serving as Director of the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Urban Design and Planning and as Director of the Center for Urban Simulation and Policy Analysis. Much of my research focuses on the analysis and modeling of urban development, and the effects of major transportation investments and land policies on these processes and on outcomes related to efficiency, equity, and the environment. Over the past several years, several collaborators and I have developed the UrbanSim model system for integrating land use and transportation modeling and planning, and applied it in several metropolitan areas. I am currently a Principal Investigator on three projects with over $5 million in funding from the National Science Foundation to extend this research agenda, in collaboration with faculty from a range of disciplines, including computer science, civil engineering, and statistics.
