Junyi Ji

I am a PhD candidate in Civil Engineering and the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt University, under the guidance of Professor Dan Work. During my PhD, I am dedicated to the I-24 MOTION testbed, a living freeway testbed generating the world's largest traffic trajectory data. 

My current research focuses on understanding the multi-scale dynamics of freeway systems, with particular emphasis on the critical phenomena of stop-and-go waves. I am also working closely with Professor Benedetto Piccoli on traffic theory and Professor Jonathan Sprinkle on vehicle automation and connectivity.

My long-term research vision is to integrate computational methods and CPS technology with transportation to create a sustainable system aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I am a strong advocate of open science and have initiated efforts in open traffic science.
