Fall 2027 PhD Student Opportunities in Transportation Engineering
Position Description
Applications are invited for a full PhD scholarship including full tuition remission and stipends for living expenses (>$44,000 per year) starting in Fall 2027. The admitted PhD student will join Dr. Di Yang’s research group affiliated with the SMARTERCenter in the Department of Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies at Morgan State University (MSU), Baltimore, USA. The admitted Ph.D. student is expected to conduct research independently under the supervision of Dr. Yang. The potential research topics include artificial intelligence (AI) applications in transportation, digital twins, quantum computing and quantum AI in smart mobility and safety, connected and autonomous vehicles, and human behaviors, among others. Applicants with strong AI and academic experience are encouraged to apply. A bachelor’s or master’s degree in civil/Transportation Engineering, Statistics/Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or other relevant fields in engineering is preferred. If you are interested, please email Dr. Yang at di.yang@morgan.edu with your CV/resume and transcripts for further details and discussion. The application deadline for international students for Fall 2027 is April 1, 2027 (early applications are strongly encouraged).
About Dr. Di Yang
Dr. Di Yang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies at Morgan State University. He received his B.Eng. in Traffic Engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University and Ph.D. in Transportation Planning and Engineering at New York University with minors in statistics and data science. His research focuses on developing novel data science and AI methods at the intersection of Intelligent Transportation Systems, connected and autonomous vehicles, traffic safety and resilience, human factors, and smart mobility. Dr. Yang has secured more than $3 million in external research funding from agencies including the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Maryland DOT, among others. Dr. Yang serves as an Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Urban Planning and Development, a Handling Editor for the journal Transportation Research Record, and on the Editorial Advisory Board of the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention (a top international journal in transportation safety). His research is mostly published in leading journals, such as Transportation Research Part A, C, and D, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Accident Analysis and Prevention, safety science, and Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction. His research publications have garnered more than 1,300 citations, according to Google Scholar.
About Morgan State University
Morgan State University (MSU) is a public Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and Carnegie-classified R2 research university located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Founded in 1867, MSU has a longstanding tradition of excellence in transportation research and education dating back to 1981. MSU leads the SMARTER Center, a USDOT Region 3 University Transportation Center (UTC) established in 2023 through a $15 million federal grant. Graduates of MSU’s transportation programs and former postdoctoral researchers have pursued diverse career paths, including faculty at universities (e.g. Mercer University), as well as opportunities in transportation consulting firms (e.g., Mead & Hunt), government agencies (e.g., DOTs), and technology companies (e.g., Amazon). Its location in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area further provides access to major transportation agencies, research institutions, and industry partners.
