He is the Editor in Chief of the Journal Data Science for Transportation (Springer) and Editor in Chief of the ACM Journal of Autonomous Transportation.

Jack Haddad's short bio

Jack Haddad is an Associate Professor of Transportation Engineering with the Civil and Environmental Engineering faculty, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and the Head of the Technion Sustainable Mobility and Robust Transportation (T-SMART) Laboratory. He received all his degrees B.Sc. (2003), M.Sc. (2006), and Ph.D. (2010) in Transportation Engineering from the Technion. He served as a post-doctoral researcher (2010-2013) at the Urban Transport Systems Laboratory (LUTS), EPFL, Switzerland. His current research interests include urban air mobility, autonomous vehicles, traffic flow modeling and control, large-scale complex networks, advanced transportation systems management, and public transportation. Dr. Haddad serves as an Associate Editor for two journals: Transportation Research Part C and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. He was a recipient of the European Union Marie Curie, Career Integration Grant (CIG), and a recipient of two Israel Science Foundation (ISF) grants. He is currently the head of the Technion Transportation Research Institute (TRI), and the Assistant to the Senior Executive Vice President for Equal Opportunities. He is also a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google.

Shadi Sharif Azadeh's short bio

Shadi Sharif Azadeh is a tenured assistant professor at Civil Engineering and Geosciences faculty and the co-director of SUM (Sustainable Urban Multi-modal Mobility) lab at TU Delft in the department of Transport & Planning. Her areas of expertise include integration of operations research with behavioural models for transport, mobility and logistics networks (Choice Driven Optimization). More precisely, her current major projects are related to 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. She is an editorial board editor at Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, editorial board member of Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies and guest editor of three special issues at Transportation Science, EURO Journal of Transport and Logistics and OR Spectrum.
