Corey Harper

Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University

Dr. Corey Harper is an Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Heinz School of Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. In his role as the director of the Future Mobility Systems Lab he leads a team of researchers who explore the effects of emerging technologies in transportation (e.g., autonomous vehicles and micromobility) on infrastructure, the environment, and communities. The equity analysis side of his team applies equity metrics to assess how policy and regulation could affect distributional equality of transportation resources. The modeling and simulation side of his group is focused on incorporating new mobility modes (e.g., micromobility and e-commerce) into regional traffic demand models to promote better long-range planning of the transportation system.

Dr. Harper is a recipient of NSF and DOE grants and is a Young Member of the Vehicle Highway Automation Committee. He is also an Associate Editor for the Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part A: Systems. Before becoming a professor, Dr. Harper was a consulting at Booz Allen Hamilton, helping USDOT and DOD with the integration of connected and automated vehicles.
