Shubham Agrawal

Shubham Agrawal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clemson University (since 2022) and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Glenn Department of Civil Engineering (since 2024). His research bridges engineering and social sciences, focusing on human factors in transportation, emerging technologies like connected/automated vehicles, and wearable technologies. He holds a Ph.D. in Transportation and Infrastructure Systems Engineering from Purdue University (2020), an M.S. from Purdue (2015), and a B.Tech in Civil Engineering from IIT Bombay (2012). His work addresses challenges such as driver behavior in automated systems, policy impacts on mobility adoption, and pandemic-driven labor shifts.

Key research interests include traveler behavior modeling, smart mobility systems, and workforce development for automated technologies. His recent articles (2021–2024) explore topics like MRI integration in emergency vehicles, pandemic-era trucking dynamics, and cross-cultural attitudes toward autonomous vehicles.

He teaches courses such as 'Wearables in Cars' and 'Structural Equation Modeling.' His NSF-funded project, WEAVE, focuses on preparing the workforce for automated vehicle systems. He collaborates across disciplines, contributing to journals like Applied Geography, Transportation Research, and Accident Analysis and Prevention.

Labs/Teams: Active in Clemson’s Human Factors Institute and Institute for Engaged Aging. Current research themes emphasize cognitive effects of in-vehicle tech, sustainable EV routing, and policy interventions for equitable mobility.
