About the Editors
Editor-in-Chief
Gonçalo Homem de Almeida Correia, PhD
Department of Transport & Planning, Delft University of Technology Delft, The Netherlands
Gonçalo Correia has made significant contributions to research on sustainable urban mobility, focusing specifically on the advancement and utilization of emerging technologies and services such as shared mobility, automated vehicles, and electric mobility. He has taken a leading role and actively participated in numerous national and international projects centered around the planning and operation of innovative urban mobility systems. In these projects, he has developed and applied novel optimization and simulation methods to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency.
Associate Editors
Marta Gonzalez, PhD
University of California Berkeley, USA
Prof. Gonzalez works in the urban science space, focusing on the intersections between people within social networks and the built and natural environments. Her goal is to design urban solutions through new technologies. To that end, she has developed tools that impact transportation research and discovered novel approaches to model human mobility and the adoption of energy technologies.
Karel Martens, PhD
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel
Karel Martens is a Full Professor of Transport Planning. His research focuses primarily on the nexus between transport and justice. He has written extensively on the (missing) justice underpinnings of transport planning, transport modeling, travel behavior data collection, and cost-benefit analysis. He proposes an alternative to traditional transport planning in his book ‘Transport Justice: Designing Fair Transportation Systems’, which has been described by colleagues as “ground-breaking”, a “landmark”, and a “revolution”.
Lelitha Devi Vanajakshi, PhD
Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Lelitha Devi Vanajakshi is the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Chair Professor in the Transportation Division, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras. She is also an Adjunct Professor at School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. She obtained her Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA. Her primary research interests are in the field of Traffic flow modelling, Traffic Operations and Management, Traffic sensors and data analytics, and Intelligent Transportation Systems.
Shadi Sharif Azadeh, PhD
TU Delft, Delft, The Netherlands
Shadi Sharif Azadeh is an associate professor at Civil Engineering and Geosciences faculty and the co-director of SUM (Sustainable Urban Multi-modal Mobility) lab at TU Delft. Her areas of expertise include integration of operations research with behavioural models for transport, mobility and logistics networks (Choice Driven Optimization). She is an expert on 1) combining pricing and assortment optimisation methods to model supply and demand interplay for last mile delivery and urban mobility systems and 2) developing real-time methods to be incorporated in combinatorial optimisation framework for large-scale transport problems.
Quan Yuan, PhD
Tongji University, Shanghai, China
Quan received his BS and MS degrees, respectively, from Peking University and University of California, Los Angeles, and his PhD in Urban Planning and Development from University of Southern California. His research areas include Transportation and Land Use, Urban Freight Transportation, and Environmental Impacts of Transportation Systems. He integrates engineering, planning, geography and public policy to explore how transportation systems interact with people, communities, and institutions, and how public policy making could make a difference in creating sustainable mobility.
Luis Guzman, PhD
Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia
Luis A. Guzman is an Associate Professor at the School of Engineering at Universidad de los Andes in the Civil and Environment Department in Bogotá, Colombia. He holds an M.Sc from the Universidad de los Andes and a Ph.D. cum laude in Systems of Civil Engineering at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2011). Luis’ research interests are extensive, including transport and land-use interaction, policy evaluation, economic evaluation of transport systems, and social, economic, and spatial analysis of inequalities related to urban transport. He is currently a researcher of national studies including the development models and tools regarding land occupation and land-use changes and their implications on urban planning, social equity, and well-being.
