I am the CEO and founder of Populus, a data platform for cities to manage the future of mobility. Trusted by leading cities and the world’s largest mobility operators, the Populus platform securely ingests real-time data from shared electric scooters, bikes, and cars, and delivers cities with digital solutions to efficiently manage their curbs and streets. Prior to my roles as a startup executive, I was a research scientist at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis where I led studies on the travel behavior impacts of shared mobility services (e.g. Uber) and autonomous vehicles. I have a decade of experience in transportation systems analysis, having built models for public agencies ranging from the Federal Aviation Administration to the San Francisco Bay Area regional transportation agency to simulate the future of travel to guide strategic policy and planning decisions. I’m an engineer by training, with a B.S. in computer science from Cornell and a Ph.D. in transportation and energy systems from MIT.
