Jason Lu

Hello! I am a Civil Engineering PhD Candidate at the University of Michigan, where I am advised by Prof. Neda Masoud in the Next Generation Mobility Systems Lab. I am also pursuing my M.S. in Industrial and Operations Engineering. My research focuses on optimization and machine learning methodologies for transportation systems. For the 2024-2025 academic year, I was the Vice President of the Michigan Transportation Student Organization.

I obtained my B.S. in Industrial Engineering with a Minor in Scientific and Engineering Computing at Georgia Tech, where I was an Undergraduate Research Assistant, and after graduation a Research Assistant, in the Socially Aware Mobility Lab and the Artificial Intelligence Institute for Advances in Optimization under Prof. Pascal Van Hentenryck. I was also the instructor of the The Seth Bonder Camp in Computational and Data Science for Engineering, a high school STEM outreach initiative.

In my free time (during the few occasions when I have some), you can find me eating Korean BBQ, traveling, going to the movies, or watching NASCAR and UFC.
