Prof. Nikolas Geroliminis is a Full Professor at EPFL and the head of the Urban Transport Systems Laboratory (LUTS). Before joining EPFL he was an Assistant Professor on the faculty of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Minnesota. He has a diploma in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and a MSc and Ph.D. in civil engineering from University of California, Berkeley. His research interests focus primarily on urban transportation systems, traffic flow theory and control, public transportation and on-demand transport, car sharing, Optimization and Large Scale Networks. Among his recent initiatives is the creation of an open-science large-scale dataset of naturalistic urban trajectories of half a million vehicles that have been collected by one-of-a-kind experiment by a swarm of drones (https://open-traffic.epfl.ch). Among other editorial responsibilities, he is currently the Editor-In-Chief of Transportation Research part C: Emerging Technologies.

Dr. Evangelos I. Kaisar is a Professor and Chair of the  Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering at Florida Atlantic University. In addition, Dr. Kaisar is the Director of the Freight Mobility Research Institute (FMRI) a USDOT TIER 1 Transportation Center.  He holds a BS degree in civil engineering from Greece and a BS, MS and a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park. Prior to coming to Florida Atlantic University, he was a project manager for the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA). Dr. Kaisar is an expert in transportation systems analysis, large scale mathematical modeling, traffic management, logistics, and preparedness catastrophic events management. Dr. Kaisar has over twenty years of experience in research and education, as well as, vast experience in managing research programs and administrative expertise. He has completed many research projects for several sponsors including US Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA), and the Department of Homeland Security. He has served as a member in many Transportation Research Board (TRB) committees. Since joining FAU faculty he has led transportation research projects in urban transportation planning, air transport systems modeling, inventory control, freight logistics and supply chain management and resilience.  He is also a member of the TRB standing committee on Freight Transportation Planning and Logistics Modeling (AT012), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), ITS America, and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. Dr. Kaisar is also serving as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Transportation Research and is currently Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.
