Umesh Somrah's engineering educational career commenced at the secondary school level at the High School for Construction Trades, Engineering, and Architecture, where he graduated as valedictorian. Subsequently, Umesh attained his Bachelor's in Civil Engineering with a minor in Construction Management at the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering in May of 2014. In effort to explore his interest in transportation engineering, during his enrollment at NYU and following his graduation, he worked with Phillip Habib and Associates, a consulting engineering firm that specializes in the planning and design of transportation facilities, traffic and civil engineering. To further his knowledge in the field, Mr. Somrah is in the process of pursuing a Master’s degree in the field of Transportation Planning and Engineering at NYU. He plans on focusing on research in high density pedestrian intersections, like Time Square, to improve the pedestrian level of service without or with negligible effects to the vehicular traffic.
