Brief Bio
Nicholas Lownes is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He is also the Director of Undergraduate Studies and the Transportation & Urban Engineering group leader in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Lownes' research focuses on public transportation systems and transportation network modeling. He is particularly interested in applying network modeling methodologies to achieve efficient and equitable planning and operations within public transportation.
