Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur August 22, 2023 NYU Tandon School of Engineering welcomed distinguished faculty members from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur to Tandon to explore collaboration and joint research opportunities.
On March 28, 2023, C2SMART Center and NYU’s student chapter of ITE hosted the 5th Annual Women in Transportation Panel at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Over 50 rising transportation professionals attended the hour-long panel discussion focused on gender equity in the workforce and throughout global transportation systems. The panelists shared insights about their experiences as women in a male-dominated field of work, including gender challenges in transportation, advice for overcoming those challenges, and tips for aspiring transportation engineers and planners.

C2SMART Center is proud to announce that its proposal to form the Connected Communities for Smart Mobility Toward Accessible and Resilient Transportation for Equitably Reducing Congestion (C2SMARTER) Center was selected for funding by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). C2SMARTER is one of just twenty centers selected for Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC) designation under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) by U.S. DOT. The awards, announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, provide $435 million to form UTCs around the country.
Daniel Vignon is currently pursuing his PhD in Civil Engineering and MA in Economics at the University of Michigan. Under the supervision of Professor Yafeng Yin, his research seeks to inform the design, regulation and operation of emerging mobility services and of smart infrastructure systems. Drawing from his background in both engineering and economics, he models and analyzes the interactions of these systems with different markets, studies their impact on social welfare, and designs policies to maximize welfare. He holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Eugene Vinitsky has a PhD in controls and optimization from UC Berkeley’s Mechanical Engineering department. Prior to that, he received his MS in physics from UC Santa Barbara and a BS in physics from Caltech.
“Transportation,” says Bingqing Liu, “can be revolutionary.” For Liu, the rapidly changing nature of transportation systems is its biggest draw — as early as high school, she was fascinated by how quickly transportation technology was evolving.
