Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Perrine is a Senior Engineering Scientist with 11 years of experience applying computer and electrical engineering to transportation systems, specializing in intelligent transportation, connected vehicles, and roadside edge computing. At UT Austin’s Center for Transportation Research he leads efforts to build regional data-sharing capabilities and a next-generation SMARTTrack facility to evaluate connected and autonomous vehicles. His background spans embedded traffic controller software, high-performance dynamic traffic simulation, and large-scale data visualization—skills honed from roles at Siemens, PNNL, and university research labs. Kenneth combines hands-on implementation (FPGA, embedded Linux, HPC) with policy-facing system architecture to turn transportation research into operational solutions that improve safety, mobility, and environmental outcomes. A practiced inventor and researcher, he has translated visualization and algorithmic advances into patents and peer-reviewed work, and prefers pragmatic, minimally invasive engineering changes that scale in production.
