Qi-Hang Sun

Ph.D. Candidate @ Beihang University

Qi-Hang Sun

My name is Qi-Hang Sun, and I am a Ph.D. candidate at Beihang University under the supervision of Prof. Ren-Yong Guo. I am currently visiting the research group of Prof. Tobias Harks at University of Passau.

My current research focuses on reservation-based travel demand management (TDM) strategies. I model commuters’ noncompliance behavior and analyze the resulting equilibria and long-term interactions between system operators and strategic participants. I am also interested in mechanism design for congestion management and hope to explore this direction in future research.

Research interests

  • Travel demand management (TDM) strategies
  • Pedestrian dynamics
  • Low-altitude urban logistics

My methodological interests include optimization in transportation.

I graduated from Beihang University in 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Management (Information Management and Information System) and a minor Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Biomedical Engineering).

If you are interested in transportation network modeling or TDM, feel free to reach out via email!
