Yanbing Wang

Yanbing Wang is a tenure-track assistant professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment (SSEBE) at Arizona State University. Before this, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the Transportation and Power Systems (TAPS) division at Argonne National Laboratory, where she led the development of traffic micro-simulation platforms for energy evaluation funded by the Department of Energy. 

Wang earned her Ph.D. from the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt University in September 2023. At Vanderbilt, she also served as a research engineer and led algorithm development for Tennessee's I-24 MOTION testbed. Her contributions to the field have been recognized with the NSF Cyber-Physical Systems Rising Star award in 2023 and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) five times. 

Her industry experience includes research internships at Toyota Infotech Labs and Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), as well as a visiting researcher position at the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA. Wang's research focuses on advancing transportation cyber-physical systems (CPS) through the development of computationally-efficient tools for generating and analyzing large-scale empirical data, with the goal of revolutionizing traffic monitoring and control for future transportation systems.
