Jinhua Zhao

Jinhua Zhao is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research integrates behavioral science, transportation technology, and artificial intelligence to influence travel behavior, design mobility systems, and reform urban policies. Zhao's work focuses on urban science, urban mobility, travel behavior, and behavioral science. He teaches courses on the behavioral foundation of urban mobility and mobility system design with a behavioral perspective. His research includes studies on public transit, shared mobility, and the impact of policy on travel behavior.

Jinhua Zhao is a Professor of Cities and Transportation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, focusing on urban mobility, travel behavior, transportation policy, public transit, and urban science. His research explores the integration of shared mobility and autonomous vehicles into public transportation systems, the impacts of transportation network companies on urban mobility, and the social aspects of dynamic ridesharing. Zhao's work also examines public perceptions of autonomous vehicle safety, customer loyalty in transit systems, and the use of data analytics for mobility prediction and policy analysis. His studies aim to improve urban mobility through innovative transportation solutions and data-driven policy frameworks.
