On October 16, 2026, I attended the 2026 Southeast Wisconsin Transportation Symposium at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. The symposium was organized by UWM’s Institute for Physical Infrastructure and Transportation in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

During the symposium, I gave a brief presentation titled “Sky-Drive: Open-Source Simulation Platform for Human–AI Collaborative and Socially Aware Transportation.” I shared our ongoing work on the distributed multi-agent simulation platform and its use in studying interactions among autonomous vehicles, human-driven vehicles, pedestrians, and other transportation agents.

I appreciated the opportunity to share our work and learn from transportation researchers and practitioners from across Wisconsin.
