Hi, Tracy.

I am Eunhan Ka, a Ph.D. student at Purdue University.
My research focuses on as follows: 

1. Network Traffic Model: Modeling traffic dynamics in large-scale urban areas from physics-informed machine learning and mathematical traffic flow model
2. Emerging Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems: Estimating traffic states (e.g., traffic density, speed, and traffic flow) under connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) environment

I hope to build my network via INFORMS and get high-quality papers.
Thanks.

Welcome new members! I joined INFORMS earlier this year. I've been a volunteer leader in other organizations for over 20 years since I started my professional career as an engineer practicing analytics and it's been a rewarding experience. I looked for an organization relevant to analytics and INFORMS stood out to me. I'm looking forward to studying for the CAP next month and leveraging the certification to mentor professionals earlier in their career than I am. I encourage new members (experienced and inexperienced) to leverage networking opportunities and seek certification if your practice/career could benefit from it. Looking forward to meeting many of you face-to-face in the future!

Hi everyone, my name is David, a MSc Data science and Artificial intelligence student at Bournemouth University.

 I have worked as a radio planner (worked with telecom data) for years, and now I am back to school to dive deeper into data science and AI and their application in business. I am planning to create my data analytics company and I hope to build network with people in analytics, learn the best practice and the trends in the real business world.
