About Me

I am Haotian Shi (石皓天), a Tenured Associate Professor at the College of Transportation, Tongji University. I cowork at the Shanghai Municipal Peak Discipline Center for Traffic Operations and Simulation (TOPS) with Prof. Jian Sun. Prior to this position, I served as a Research Associate at the Connected & Autonomous Transportation Systems Laboratory (CATS) lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working with Prof. Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li. I competed my Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Transportation Engineering) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2023, supervised by Prof. Bin Ran. I hold a multidisciplinary portfolio of degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Tianjin University, including a Ph.D. and M.S. in Transportation Engineering, an M.S. and B.S. in Computer Sciences, and an M.S. and B.S. in Power Machinery & Engineering.

My primary research interests include Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), traffic flow modeling and control optimization, AI-empowered intelligent transportation systems, and human-machine intelligent interaction. I have published over 40 academic papers in top-tier transportation or computer science journals such as Transportation Research Part C/E、IEEE T-ITS、CACAIE、COMMTR、AAP. Additionally, I hold more than 30 granted invention patents in China and the United States.

I recruit Ph.D. and Master’s students each year with backgrounds in transportation, automotive engineering, computer science, mathematics, and related fields. Students interested in autonomous driving, intelligent transportation systems, AI, and human-machine interaction are welcome to apply.
