Daniel M. Dulaski

Teaching Professor Daniel M. Dulaski is affiliated with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University’s College of Engineering. His research focuses on transportation safety, roadway geometry, roadside design, and human factors in transportation. He holds a Ph.D. (2005) and M.S. (1999) in Civil Engineering from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and a B.S. (1993) in Civil Engineering from the University of Lowell (now UMass Lowell). Licensed as a Professional Engineer in Massachusetts, he has been recognized with multiple teaching awards, including the 2014 Martin W. Essigmann Outstanding Teaching Award.

Professor Dulaski’s research spans critical areas such as pedestrian safety at crosswalks, bicycle infrastructure design, and advanced traffic control devices like rumbles strips. He has supervised capstone projects addressing traffic flow optimization in towns like Wrentham and Mansfield, demonstrating practical applications of civil engineering principles. His work emphasizes bridging academic research with real-world transportation challenges.
