The UDUTC is led by Prof. Sue McNeil, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Delaware. Dr. McNeil earned her Ph.D. in civil engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. Her research and teaching interests focus on transportation infrastructure management, with an emphasis on the application of advanced technologies, economic analysis, analytical methods, and computer applications. Dr McNeil is a member of the Executive Committee of the Transportation Research Board and the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment.
