Research and Interests:

I am passionate about addressing the existing and potential challenges faced by airports and airlines. My applied and empirical research focuses on air travel demand, airport ground access, passenger travel behavior, and other critical topics. Through my work, I strive to make significant contributions to both academic knowledge and practical applications within the aviation industry. Additionally, I hold a Part 107 remote pilot certification, which enhances my ability to integrate practical skills with my research.
