I co-founded and spearheaded a new research initiative across the Berkeley campus known as UAM@Berkeley, spanning the Civil and Environmental Engineering, City and Regional Planning, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, and Mechanical Engineering departments. The goal of the initiative is to bring together academic, industry, and government luminaries in the fields of eVTOL manufacturing, airspace management, vertiport design, autonomous flight, and urban simulation.

We hope that this will become a strong research consortium across the Institute of Transportation Studies, College of Engineering, and College of Environmental Design for years to come.
