Bio
Xinyi Wu is a postdoctoral researcher at Argonne National Laboratory. She earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Renmin University of China, a Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP), and a Ph.D. degree in urban planning from the University of Minnesota. As a master student, she worked with Professor Greg Lindsey, studying the demand forecasting of non-motorized transportation. She also participated in research on the satisfaction of transit passengers with Professor Jason Cao. In the Ph.D. program, she continues doing research regarding public transit and neighborhood satisfaction. Her current research interests include transportation planning, the built environment, transit rider satisfaction and subjective well-being. Her works have been published in journals such as the Journal of Planning Literature, Transportation Research: Part A, Journal of Transport and Land Use, and so on.
