Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYun Yuan is an associate professor and researcher with nine years’ experience specializing in spatio-temporal data mining, GIS analytics, optimization, and full‑stack application development for transportation systems. Based in Liaoning, China, she leads teaching and graduate recruitment at Dalian Maritime University while running research on machine learning for transportation, autonomous driving, multimodal freight, and transit data. Her postdoctoral work at the University of Utah involved mining petabyte-scale traffic datasets and developing physics‑regularized and reinforcement learning methods for safety and traffic analytics. She brings a strong academic track record (PhD in Transportation and Highway Engineering) and hands‑on programming experience in Java, JavaScript, and Python, enabling rapid translation of complex models into deployable tools. An underappreciated strength is her ability to bridge theoretical modeling with practical simulation and optimization to inform real-world traffic operations and policy.
