My talk from #positconf 2025 is now up! I got to introduce our survey platform and #rstats package #surveydown. It's been a fun project with @pingfanhu.bsky.social & Bogdan Bunea, and I hope it can be useful for the community of survey researchers out there! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwoe...

Congrats to Dr. Lujin Zhao on a successful dissertation defense! 🎉 Lujin's research examines transportation mode choice as well as #EV mileage and disparities in EV supply across the US. He is also the 3rd PhD graduating from my lab in 2024 (also 3rd PhD ever from my lab...it's been a busy year!)
