Postdoctoral fellow
Georgia Institute of Technology
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Einat is a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech. She works with Dr. Srinivas Peeta on ride-hailing driver behavior modeling, driver car-following and lane-change behavior in mixed traffic, promoting sustainability in smart and connected communities, augmented reality cues for visually impaired senior drivers, situational awareness in autonomous vehicles (AV) passengers engaged in virtual environments, cybersecurity impacts on driver behavior, and infrastructure modifications for AVs. She is leading the driving simulator lab (ACT Lab). Einat completed her Ph.D. in transportation at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, where she integrated subjective travel time data collected in field experiments in destination and toll-route choice modeling, showing improved forecasting accuracy. With a background in cognitive psychology and human factors, her research broadly focuses on behavioral aspects of drivers’ and travelers’ responses, decision-making, and performance. As a researcher in the Transportation Research Institute (Technion), she led research on educational interventions for novel car-following techniques, real-world travel behavior simulation under autonomous transportation, cultural differences in AV acceptance, COVID-19 implications on user acceptance of shared mobility, and road safety.
