Four faculty members at Stony Brook University were selected to receive the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program award. The award, which includes a substantial grant to support research over a five-year period, is given to promising young faculty members who exemplify the role of teacher-scholar through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of both education and research. –

The mission of the Tier I Transportation Informatics University Transportation Center (referred to hereafter as TransInfo UTC)
is undertake research, education, training, and technology transfer activities aimed at realizing the full potential of “Big Data”
and Transportation Informatics in: (1) improving transportation
system performance; and (2) guiding investments and policies.

The objective of this project is to advance routing methods in hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation to mitigate the risk of hazmat accidents and provide fundamental building blocks to bring the current research and practice up to the next level.
