The Institute of Transportation Studies would like to congratulate Dr. Michael Hyland on his recent promotion to Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Samueli School of Engineering, UC Irvine.
During his time at UC Irvine, Dr. Hyland has dedicated his research to developing smarter, more sustainable transportation systems with a focus on microtransit, bikesharing, ridesharing, and driverless vehicles. This summer, Dr. Hyland has worked closely with graduate students, undergraduates, and high school students modeling human unreliability in microtransit services and quantifying accessibility benefits from small-scale mobility investments for the Institute of Transportation Studies’ TRIP program. As an Associate Professor, Dr. Hyland intends to continue his research towards improving the future of transportation.
“I’m looking forward to the added job security and the opportunity to take a step back and determine where I want to focus my scholarly efforts over the next 5+ years.”
