Hello! My name is Ameen DaCosta, and I am a second-year student at the University of California, Berkeley, in the dual-degree program working towards an M.S. in Civil Engineering, concentrating in Transportation Engineering, and an M.C.P. in City and Regional Planning, concentrating in Transportation Policy and Planning. I recently graduated from Columbia University, with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a minor in Sustainable Engineering. I am passionate about public transportation and redesigning urban areas and streetscapes in order to allow them to better serve the community.

In addition to my studies, I am the co-president of the Transportation Graduate Students Organizing Committee (TRANSOC). While at Columbia, I co-captained my intramural soccer team, was a co-founder of Minecraft Club, and was on the board of Columbia University’s Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). I was also recently part of a group of UC Berkeley graduate students who broke the BART Speedrun World Record. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, watching and playing soccer, and spending time with friends and family!
