Yiheng Feng
Biography
Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering – Purdue University
Dr. Feng received his Ph.D. from the Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering at the University of Arizona in 2015. His research areas include connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and smart transportation infrastructure, with a focus on intelligent traffic control and transportation system cybersecurity. He has served as PI and Co-PI in many research projects funded by NSF, USDOT, and USDOE. He has published more than 50 research articles, which appeared in top journals, including Nature Communications, Transportation Research Part B/C, and IEEE Transactions on ITS. He is the co-chair of the Traffic Signal Systems Committee Simulation Subcommittee at the Transportation Research Board and serves as an editorial board member of Transportation Research Part C. He is the recipient of the inaugural best dissertation award from the Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA) in 2015 and INFORMS ITS best paper award in 2021.
