Welcome to the lab website of Mobility-X!
In the lab, our focus lies in the comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted components that contribute to human movement, also known as Mobility. We delve into an array of factors (referred to as 'X') that exert influence on the effectiveness, adaptability, and fairness of mobility systems. The following examples highlight our ongoing research endeavors:
Specific applications that stem from our lab's research interests include:
Check out the research page for more details. If you are interested in collaborating with us, please drop me an email! Prospective StudentsMobi-X Lab will move to Rice University starting July 1, 2024.
If you are interested in pursuing Ph.D. starting Spring 2025/Fall 2025, please send an email with your CV, transcript, and a research statement to xinwu.qian@rice.edu. We are always looking for highly-motivated students who have a background in mathematical modeling and data analytics, and are proficient with Python/MATLAB/JAVA/C++ programming. For undergraduate/master's students who are at UA and interested in the lab's research, feel free to send me an email and schedule an in-person meeting. For all other students, please send me an email with your CV, transcripts, and relevant research papers for inquiries about graduate research assistant openings.
