Andrew Russ has an MS in physics from the University of Maryland (1987) and an MS in Journalism from Ohio University (1993). He also studied quantum chaos at the Pennsylvania State University. While at Ohio University in the early 1990s he served as a research assistant in the Center for Geotechnical and Groundwater Research, the predecessor of ORITE, where he worked for Dr. Shad Sargand and Dr. Gayle Mitchell. He debugged and ran the OU-PAVE program and did much of the writing in that report. He compiled a lengthy table of erosion control provisions in state road and bridge contract books to assess the state of erosion control in highway construction in the US and Ohio’s position relative to other states. He also compiled survey results for that project. He is probably the only student to be awarded a Stocker Fellowship at Ohio University as a journalism student.
In the ORITE Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory he has contributed to several recent research projects commissioned by ODOT, including the evaluation of ODOT’s Travel Time Prediction System (TIPS), the evaluation of ODOT’s Road Weather Information System (RWIS), and the unlighted overhead guide sign feasibility study. His contributions include both mathematical and statistical analyses as well as extensive report writing.
He knows the programming languages C++, Fortran, and Pascal. He wrote a web page for the lecture demonstrations used by the physics department at Penn State in 1995. His coursework includes design of experiments, human factors engineering, traffic engineering, systems engineering, soils engineering, and stochastic processes.
