Motao Zhu studies road traffic safety, focusing on who gets injured in crashes and why, including older drivers, teen drivers with traffic violations, distracted and impaired driving, and the effects of laws like phone bans and licensing renewal policies. This work combines crash data analysis with public health and injury epidemiology methods to inform policies aimed at reducing driving-related injuries. Students would likely engage with large administrative or survey datasets on crashes, driver behavior, and safety policy evaluation.
Publication output grew from 2017 through a peak around 2020-2022, then has gradually declined in the most recent few years.
