RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
 Graduation Thesis November 2020 - Present
School of Transportation Engineering, Tongji University, China.
Topic: Bus Driver Driving Behavior Analysis and Improvement Study
Using Ordered Logit Model and Bayesian Belief Network on bus drivers from two cities in China, the thesis
concludes that there is a significant correlation between job satisfaction and emotional attributes (depression,
anxiety, and anger) on driving behavior and historical crash data. In addition, the thesis explored the effect of
safety education frequency and content on drivers' safety climate perception.
