Jun Wang

Jun Wang, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida Atlantic University. Her research sits at the intersection of urban design and transportation planning, with a focus on shared autonomous mobility, multimodal access, and evidence-based suburban retrofits. She applies spatial analysis and machine learning to large-scale mobility and built-environment data to inform equitable, “car-lite” community design. Dr. Wang’s work appears in Transportation Research Part A, Travel Behaviour and Society, Case Studies on Transport Policy and other major journals in urban planning and transportation fields. Dr. Wang's work has been recognized by American Public Transportation Foundation, Asian Design Awards (2019), Shanghai Urban Design Challenge (2018), and the 4th Wuhan Design Biennale (2017), with additional exhibitions at World Cities Day–Shanghai Forum (2018) and the Georgia EQIA Exhibition (2020). Dr. Wang is an advocate for partnership with local governments, nonprofits, and neighborhood groups to co-produce walkable, transit-oriented design strategies, translating research into tangible improvements for communities.
