John H. Mott serves as Professor and Director of the Advanced Aviation Analytics Center of Research Excellence (A3IR-CORE) at Purdue University's School of Aviation and Transportation Technology. A distinguished academic with engineering expertise across multiple disciplines, he holds formal education from the University of Alabama (B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering) and Purdue University (Ph.D. in Civil Engineering).
- Doctor of Philosophy, Civil Engineering, Purdue University, 2017
- Master of Science, Electrical Engineering, University of Alabama, 1988
- Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering, University of Alabama, 1986
Dr. Mott's research focuses on transportation process measurement and improvement through distributed data acquisition and analysis, with particular emphasis on aviation applications of Bayesian inference. His work bridges theoretical mathematical modeling with practical transportation safety and efficiency solutions. As Director of A3IR-CORE, he leads interdisciplinary research that transforms raw operational data into actionable insights for improving transportation systems.
His publication portfolio reveals strong trends in applying computational methods to aviation safety challenges, particularly through ADS-B data analysis, UAS applications, and noise impact assessment. Recent work increasingly incorporates machine learning approaches to flight trajectory reconstruction and temporal data representation.
