It was really and awesome and cheerful feeling after my selection for "Outstanding international researcher 2016" award.I chose Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), China in 2013 to start my Ph.D studies in Traffic Engineering. The outstanding faculty of "School of Transportation and Logistics Engineering" guided and challenged me to drive myself. My advisor Prof Xinguo Jiang had made the difference in my research skills and provided me an established platform to publish high quality journal papers as well as to attend conferences during my study.As a scholar-researcher I learned how individual actions impact team performance. The lessons I've learned on the court here in SWJTU are undoubtedly serving me well in my personal and professional life.
