Raphael Stern, a PhD student at the University of Illinois and a Visiting Scholar at the Vanderbilt University Institute for Software Integrated Systems, is featured on page 3 in the Fall 2018 newsletter of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.

Raphael visited IPAM in 2015 as a PhD student in civil engineering, for the program New Directions in Mathematical Approaches for Traffic Flow Management. Transportation was (and still is) at a crucial stage: the emergence of new technologies such as vehicle connectivity,automation, and shared mobility promises to rapidly change the transportation landscape. With a sense of urgency, researchers from mathematics and engineering came to IPAM to explore new developments in traffic modeling, estimation, and control.
