Purdue Civil Students Receive USDOT Eisenhower Fellowship

On February 24, 2012, USDOT awarded Eisenhower Graduate Research Fellowships to Alex Hainen and Steve Remias. Each of them will receive a $34,000 fellowship for research in area of adaptive traffic signal control. "We are very pleased that USDOT has awarded these fellowships to these outstanding students," said Professor Darcy Bullock. Bullock will serve as their academic mentor.

This fellowship will provide an opportunity for Hainen and Remias to make contributions to the adaptive traffic signal control field, a strategic area identified by Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez's Every Day Counts initiative (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/everydaycounts/).
