2010 Recipient

Saif Jabari

The recipient of the 2010 award is Saif Jabari, a doctoral candidate in civil engineering. Max Donath, director of the Institute, presented the award.

Jabari’s doctoral work concentrates on the development of mathematical models for estimating and predicting traffic conditions along freeways and signalized arterials. Assistant Professor Henry Liu, Jabari’s advisor, said Jabari “may be the best student in his cohort” and noted that he contributed greatly to Liu’s research projects.
