Former Students
Ke Liu
Ke is a Ph.D. student working on models of urban evacuation. She is particularly concerned with the spatial dynamics of a mass evacuation and its implications for evacuation policy. Her broader research interests include traffic network simulation and control, dynamic traffic demand forecasting, and consolidated evacuation phenomena modeling. She has a B.S. degree in Railroad and Civil Engineering from Tongji University in Shanghai, China, and an M.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland. She is currently working at the Traffic Research Lab (TReL), Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center, Federal Highway Administration.
Andrew Churchill
Andrew is a Ph.D. student with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.S. in Civil Engineering, both from the University of Maryland. His research interests include stochastic air traffic management, modeling aviation delay and cancellation behaviors, slot-controlled airports, and airline operations. He has had internships with Southwest Airlines and with NASA.

M.S. Thesis: Determining the Number of Slots to Submit to a Market Mechanism at a Single Airport
Moein Ganji
Moein is a Ph.D. student. His research interests include stochastic and dynamic network algorithms, dynamic traffic system management, network modeling, and optimization. He has a B.A. degree in Civil Engineering from Ferdowsi University in Mashad, Iran, and an M.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas, El Paso.
Kleoniki Vlachou
Kleoniki is a Ph.D. student. Her research focuses on applications of operations research techniques to problems in air traffic management. She received a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University in Athens, Greece, and an M.S. degree in Transportation Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Kennis Chan
Kennis is a M.S student. Her research interests are 1) optimizing the utilization of the national airspace system to minimize traffic delay and environmental impact, 2) stochastic modeling of weather forecasting and how it influences flight trajectories, and 3) statistically analyzing aviation delay behaviors for slot-controlled airports. She received a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to pursuing a M.S degree at UMD, Kennis had several years of professional experience in air traffic management areas as an aviation systems analyst in California.
