Bio: I am in the dual masters degree program between Civil Engineering and City Planning at Georgia Tech. My current research involves the evaluation of practices of Health Impact Assessment for use in transportation agencies’ performance management programs. I'm also working with a colleague to develop an educational module on current practices of sustainable development rating systems for transportation and neighborhood design. Recently I also completed a project that surveyed the state-of-the-practice of performance management programs for the purposes of a benchmarking study for Georgia Department of Transportation.
