Research profile
My research develops a site-centric perspective on traffic world models, extending my interest in autonomous driving to the interactions and safety of an entire traffic scene. Using drone-recorded trajectories, I study multi-agent dynamics, observation dependence, closed-loop error propagation, and whether forecasts support defensible decisions and safety assessments. The longer-term goal is a transportation research tool for evaluating traffic scenes and digital twins, not only a model for controlling one vehicle.
