Profile: Meet Professor John Gliebe

B.S. 1987 (journalism) Bowling Green State University; M.R.P. 1992 (city and regional planning) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Ph.D. 2004 (civil engineering) Northwestern University.

Dr. Gliebe's research interests are focused on the development of advanced travel demand modeling methods, such as activity-based models and integrated land use and transportation models. Drawing on interests in econometrics and simulation, his objective is to improve the behavioral realism of modeling practices, with the underlying goal being better tools for policy analysis. Dr. Gliebe teaches courses in urban transportation planning, travel demand modeling, and discrete choice modeling. He came to PSU after working for several years in a national travel forecasting consulting practice, where he contributed to a variety of projects involving the development of regional and statewide models for forecasting both personal and commercial travel as well as land use.
