Bo Lan is a research associate at the UNC Highway Safety Research Center. Bo’s research interests are mainly on the application of the state-of-the-art statistical methods in road safety studies including the use of empirical Bayesian, full Bayesian and tree based methods.

Bo received her Ph.D. in transportation engineering from Ryerson University (Canada). Her Ph.D. research focus was on exploration of Bayesian method for network screening and before-after safety evaluation of countermeasures. Her Ph.D work also included the comparison of the performance of the EB and FB approaches for network screening and treatment safety evaluation.
