Dr. Jianbang Du is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), working at the intersection of transportation systems, emissions modeling, air quality planning, and environmental data science.

His work supports regulatory and planning applications across Texas, including State Implementation Plans, transportation conformity, Reasonable Further Progress demonstrations, VMT offset analyses, and air emissions reporting. He has extensive experience with EPA’s MOVES model, mobile source emissions inventory development, local input preparation, emission rate development, link-based and HPMS-based inventory methods, and QA/QC of large-scale modeling workflows.

Dr. Du’s recent work combines transportation activity data, environmental modeling, and computational analysis to support regional air quality and mobility planning. His technical expertise includes Python, SQL, database development, large-scale data processing, emissions modeling automation, and the integration of transportation and environmental datasets.
