Anne Goodchild joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor in December 2005 after completing her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UC at Berkeley. Her research interests lie in the analysis of logistic systems, with an emphasis on freight transportation. Her dissertation work examined the impact of a crane operating strategy on port terminal operations. Other research experience includes minimizing emissions in strategic routing and schedule planning in urban pick-up and delivery system, policy and technology implementations to improve intermodal interfaces, and the relationship between freight activity and the economy. Before attending Berkeley she worked in consulting for 5 years in Europe and North America, for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Applied Decision Analysis Inc., modeling business problems such as airline fleet maintenance scheduling. She holds an MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the UC at Berkeley, and a BS (with High Honors) in Mathematics from the UC at Davis.
	Alon Bassok works for the Puget Sound Regional Council, where he is a senior planner. Alon’s current projects include transportation project prioritization and monitoring efforts in the long range transportation and land use plans. Dr. Bassok also currently serves as the PI for NCFRP 32: Impacts of Smart Growth on Metropolitan Goods Movement. He has taught courses on sustainability in transportation for the University of Washington's Department of Urban Planning and received his Ph. D. from the University of Washington in 2009. Prior to joining PSRC, Alon conducted several research project related to urban goods movement including the delivery mechanism of groceries to disadvantaged communities and micro-scale air quality monitoring of truck pollution in an urban setting.
	Ed McCormack received his Masters of Science in Civil Engineering and a Bachelor and PhD in Geography from the University of Washington. Prior to joining CEE, he conducted research on a wide range of transportation topics at the Washington State Transportation Center (TRAC). His experience includes examining the use of technology to improve freight mobility, developing freight performance benchmarks, and exploring the land use-transportation relationship. During his time TRAC, he was also responsible for managing a series of border and freight technology projects for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Previous experience also includes working as transportation planner/modeler for a engineering consulting firm and for a Metropolitan Planning Organization.
	Daniel Carlson is a senior lecturer whose work focuses on the areas of community and economic development and transportation and land use. He is the co-author (with Cy Ulberg and Lisa Wormser) of At Road's End: Transportation and Land Use Choices for Communities (Island Press, 1995), a book that examines present transportation paradigms and case studies from around the country, which model change toward holistic transportation planning. Carlson is also the author of Reusing America's Schools (Preservation Press, 1991), which highlights adaptive use of closed schools for community development. His study, with Evans School graduate Don Billen, Transportation Corridor Management: Are We Linking Transportation and Land Use Yet? (1996) focuses specifically on innovations and lessons learned from transportation corridor management in regions across the country.
	Qing Shen's research interests center on understanding changes in the spatial organization of cities, their socioeconomic and environmental impacts, and their implications for urban transportation planning and policymaking. Over the past fifteen years he has developed new methodological frameworks for analyzing urban spatial structure, examined the social consequences of automobile-oriented metropolitan development, and investigated the differential impacts of information and communication technologies on various population groups. His current work focuses primarily on the connections between the built environment, travel behavior, and energy consumption and emissions. In addition, he is engaged in collaborative research on urban land use and transportation development strategies in China with colleagues at Tongji University, where he holds a visiting position as Tongji Chair Professor. Professor Shen was educated in China (Zhejiang University), Canada (University of British Columbia) and the United States (University of California, Berkeley, where in 1993 he earned a PhD in City and Regional Planning). He taught at MIT and University of Maryland before joining University of Washington in 2009. A highly active member of the academic community, he has served on the editorial boards of six academic journals, including Journal of the American Planning Association and Journal of Planning Education and Research. He was a primary founder and former Chairman of the International Association for China Planning (IACP).
	Charlie Howard is the Transportation Planning Director for the Puget Sound Regional Council, a position that he has held since February 2005. Prior to joining PSRC, Charlie worked with the Washington State Department of Transportation for 18 years, most recently as the Director of Strategic Planning and Programming. Charlie has been involved in state and regional transportation issues for the past 30 years, including an active role in developing and implementing the state's growth management act. Charlie is a graduate of the Ohio State University, and has a Master's Degree in City and Regional Planning from Harvard University.
	Ted Klastorin serves as the Burlington Northern/Burlington Resources Professor of Operations Management at the University of Washington Foster School of Business. He teaches courses through the Evans School Cascade Executive Programs on project management, operations and service delivery, and process management. His current research includes the study of random disruptions on project and supply chain planning, new product development projects, and coordination issues in decentralized supply chains. Klastorin previously taught at Wake Forest University’s Babcock Graduate School of Management in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Since coming to the University of Washington, he has served as the founding chair of the Management Science Department and a co-founder of the Program in Engineering and Manufacturing Management (PEMM), a joint program of the College of Engineering and Foster School. Klastorin has consulted with many organizations, including Boeing, Starbucks, Paccar, and Microsoft. He is a member of INFORMS, MSOM Society, and IIE. He has also served on the editorial boards of Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) and IIE Transactions. Klastorin holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS from Carnegie-Mellon University.
	Yinhai Wang's research interests include advanced traffic detection systems, large-scale traffic system modeling and analysis, traffic operations, intelligent transportation systems, traffic safety, traffic simulation, vehicle emission analysis, and e-science of transportation. He is the founder and director of the Smart Transportation Applications and Research Laboratory (STAR Lab) at the UW. Through his consistent efforts, the STAR Lab has received broad support from both public transportation agencies and private companies. It functions as the remote training center for the Washington State Department of Transportation. Dr. Wang serves as the president of Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA) and members of the Freeway Operations Committee and Transportation Information Systems and Technology Committee at the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Dr. Wang also serves on the Board of Governors for the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society. Until 2010, he has published over forty peer-reviewed journal articles, two edited books, one book chapter, and over thirty peer-reviewed conference papers. He is the winner of the ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering Best Paper Award for 2003. Dr. Wang has delivered nearly sixty invited talks and over one hundred presentations or posters at national or international conferences, research institutes, and workshops. Dr. Wang is currently an associate editor for the ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering and the Thomas & Marilyn Nielsen Endowed Professor at the UW.
