Dr. Yanshou Sun

Dr. Yanshuo Sun is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Florida State University. He received his Ph.D. in transportation engineering from the University of Maryland.

Dr. Sun specializes in mathematical programming and big data analytics with applications in transportation systems and logistics. He has published nearly 40 papers in leading journals in his research field, including IISE Transactions and Transportation Research Parts A, B, C, and E. At present, he serves as the principal investigator (PI) on three projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and another project funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). In 2019, he received a planning grant from the Institute for Successful Longevity (ISL) to improve accessibility and mobility for transportation-disadvantaged population groups, including seniors, by developing advanced scheduling and communication tools. This project laid the foundation for his later and ongoing research funded by the NSF and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) on the same research theme.
