Dr. Gan is an Associate Professor with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University. His areas of research have included traffic simulation, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), transit planning, demand modeling, and highway safety. Recognizing the data-dependent nature of the transportation field, Dr. Gan has focused his more recent research on developing innovative methods and tools that facilitate the integration, analysis, and dissemination of transportation data. Dr. Gan has been the developer of more than a dozen transportation software systems, including the nationally known Florida Transit Information System (FTIS). Since joining
FIU in 1999, Dr. Gan has served as the principal investigator for about $4M of sponsored research projects and over $3.0M as Co-Principal Investigator. Dr. Gan has authored or co-authored over 75 refereed papers and technical reports.
