Ruolin Li is a Gabilan Assistant Professor with Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Southern California. She is broadly interested in the design and control of future mobility systems, particularly involving automated agents such as autonomous vehicles. Her work lies at the intersection of human behavior modeling, modeling of multi-agent systems, and control and optimization, aiming to enhance the societal benefits of the intelligent transportation system. She was previously a postdoctoral scholar with the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford. Prior to that, she obtained a Ph.D. and a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley in 2023 and 2018. She was selected as a Rising Star in Civil and Environmental Engineering by MIT in 2021 and a Rising Star in Mechanical Engineering by Stanford in 2022.
