This record appears to mix work from multiple researchers named Hua Cai, spanning transportation and energy systems engineering alongside unrelated topics like image encryption, genomics, and humanities scholarship. The transportation- and energy-related publications focus on electric vehicles, shared autonomous vehicle systems, energy sharing in renewable microgrids, and travel demand modeling, suggesting an interest in how new mobility and energy technologies affect infrastructure, resilience, and the environment. Because the bibliographic data appears to combine outputs from different individuals or fields, prospective students should independently verify which specific publications belong to this PI before drawing conclusions about their focus.
