Dr. Zong Tian joined the University of Nevada Reno in 2004 and is currently a professor and the founding director of Center for Advanced w88 online casino Education and Research (CATER).
He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Texas A&M University. He held a position of associate research scientist at the Texas w88 online casino Institute between 2000 and 2004. He was employed at Kittelson and Associates, Inc. in Portland, Oregon between 1995 and 1999.
Dr. Tian is active in several w88 online casino professional organizations. He served on two two major committees of the w88 online casino Research Board (TRB): the Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee, and the Traffic Signal Systems Committee. He was the paper review chair for the Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee of TRB, handling over 60 paper reviews each year. He is the topic area manager for area C: Traffic Management, Operations, and Safety of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS). He also chairs the Special Interest Group (SIG-C2) focusing on Urban Transport Operations. He has been serving as a co-organizer for the International Conference on Traffic and w88 online casino Studies (ICTTS) since 2004 and has been the co-editor of the conference proceedings. He is the associate editor of Case Studies on Transport Policy.
His specialty area is in traffic signal systems and operations, highway capacity, and integrated freeway and arterial operations. w88 online casino received the Young Consultant Award from ITE in 1997.
