Capabilities: Over 36 years of experience in modeling, technology and policy assessment,

transportation demand analysis, urban transportation planning, and environmental

analysis.

Professional Experience:

Argonne National Laboratory (1980 Present)

Transportation Systems Engineer, Center for Transportation Research (1980-Present)

Conducted research on transportation demand, market potentials of transportation technologies and

materials, and environmental impacts of new technologies. Developed and exercised mathematical and

simulation models for evaluation of technologies, alternative fuels, policies, and regulations. Analyzed

energy and petroleum saving potentials of alternative vehicle engine and fuel technologies including

electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Evaluated the impacts of the 1970 Clean Air Act on mobile source

emissions. Participated as one of the two mobile source modelers in a five-year project assessing the

impacts of mobile source emissions on acid precipitation in the United States. Developed a modeling

system for projecting transportation energy demand and emissions. Developed behavioral models for

consumer vehicle choice and travel. Conducted technological and economic assessments of lightweight

materials, structural ceramics, and alternative fuels. Evaluated the market potential for magnetically

levitated vehicles and high-speed trains in key corridors.

Chicago Area Transportation Study (1971 1980)

Director, Systems Simulation

Managed all modeling, systems analysis, simulation, and software development activities. Directed the

development of a set of travel demand and environmental impacts estimation procedures encompassing

all steps of urban transportation planning. Managed the development of a unique two-stage mode choice

model. Supervised the analysis of two home interview surveys, a commercial vehicle survey, and a

cordon-line survey. Participated in the development of environmental implementation plans.

Associated Cement Companies and Gujarat Electricity Board, India (1962 1969)

Systems Analyst (1967-1969), Electrical Engineer (1962-1967)

Worked for a cement manufacturer as systems analyst conducting analysis of inventory and optimal use

of manufacturing capacity. Supervised maintenance function as an electrical engineer. Worked for the

Gujarat State Electricity Board as a rural electrification engineer.

International Experience:

Very familiar with the Indian Subcontinent and south Asia. Worked on an international project relating to

the production of biomass energy in Nepal.
