Dan Work is a multidisciplinary professor at Vanderbilt University who applies control theory, data science, and systems engineering to real-world transportation problems. With over a decade of research experience spanning academia and industry, he led the first experimental demonstration that a small fraction of automated vehicles can eliminate phantom traffic jams. He directs large-scale projects like I-24 MOTION and CIRCLES that fuse high-resolution sensing, modeling, and policy engagement to reduce congestion and energy use. His work bridges theory and practice—informing public agencies and attracting wide media attention—while mentoring the next generation of transportation and AI researchers. Based in Nashville, he combines deep technical expertise in cyber-physical systems with a pragmatic focus on deployable solutions that scale.
