Xilei Zhao (赵曦蕾, born 1990) is an assistant professor in Transportation Engineering at the University of Florida where she is the director of the Smart, Equitable, Resilient Mobility Systems (SERMOS) Lab.[1] Her research focuses on machine learning applications for transportation and resilience.

Education[edit]

She holds a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.[1]

Research[edit]

Zhao has been developing and applying data and computational science methods to solve challenging problems in transportation and community preparedness and response, focusing on many disasters, such as building fires, hurricanes and wildfires.[2][3][4][5] She has made contributions to the investigation of several disasters, such as the investigation of the Kinkade Fire using questionnaire studies, GPS data and machine learning algorithms.[6][7] Further, her research investigated and proposed strategies to promote e-scooters to enhance public transit in Washington, DC and to make self-driving cars accessible to people with disabilities.[8]

Awards[edit]

  • Travel Behaviour and Society Outstanding Paper Award 2020[9]
  • Early-Career Research Fellowship of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 's Gulf Research Program[10]
