ITS-NY is honored to recognize those who have made significant contributions to not only ITS-NY, but who have helped to advance the ITS industry as a whole.
In Loving Memory of Dr. Hassan Homami
It is with deep sorrow that ITS-NY shares the news of Dr. Hassan Rezaei Homami's passing. Dr. Homami served as a Senior Supervising Engineer at WSP. He moved to the United States from Iran following the Iranian Revolution of 1979. In 2013, Dr. Homami earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the City University of New York and brought with him 29 years of expertise in ITS Planning, design, PS&E, construction support, and operation and maintenance support. He was instrumental in designing the wireless ITS system for NYSDOT Region 8 in Westchester County and recently shared his insights at the ITS-NY 32nd Annual Meeting and Technology Exhibition. Dr. Homami possessed a wealth of experience in managing and designing projects related to transportation, communications, and electrical engineering. ITS-NY extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
