Lisa Aultman-Hall is a Professor and Chair of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. She obtained her PhD from McMaster University in 1996 and has held professorial positions in the Civil Engineering departments at the Universities of Kentucky, Connecticut, and Vermont. Her research focuses on transportation systems, with a particular emphasis on methods to collect unique databases for modeling and analysis of long-distance intercity travel, electric vehicles, network resiliency, streetscape design, and non-motorized transportation. Aultman-Hall served as the founding Director of the interdisciplinary Vermont Transportation Research Center (TRC), where her work concentrated on land use transportation models. Her recent journal publications have highlighted the creation of alternative specific attributes for intercity mode choice models, exploring air versus highway travel and the carbon emissions associated with trip distances. Currently, she is engaged in utilizing travel survey data to generate time-space resolved energy demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging, a critical aspect of modeling regional electricity grids and scenarios for EV adoption. Collaborating with colleagues in Vermont, Dr. Aultman-Hall is also innovating new spatial measures for intercity travel using large datasets from California.
