Transportation Mobility in Smart Cities

Dr. Petros Ioannou received a B.Sc. degree from University College, London, in 1978, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, in 1980 and 1982, respectively. In 1982, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California where he is currently the A.V. ‘Bal’ Balakrishnan chair professor and holds the prestigious title of University Professor. He is the founder and director of the Center of Advanced Transportation Technologies and co-founder and Associate Director for Research of METRANS and of the Pacific Southwest Regional University Transportation Center. He holds courtesy appointments with the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering. He is the founder and director of Master Program on Financial Engineering. He is a fellow of IEEE, IFAC, AAAS and the author/co-author of 9 books and over 400 research papers in the areas of controls and intelligent transportation systems. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and Foreign member of the Academia Europaea and European Academy of Sciences  Dr. Andreas Malikopoulos is a Professor in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the Director of the Information and Decision Science Lab at Cornell University. Prior to these appointments, he was the Terri Connor Kelly and John Kelly Career Development Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017-2023) and the founding Director of the Sociotechnical Systems Center (2019-2023) at the University of Delaware (UD). Before he joined UD, he was the Alvin M. Weinberg Fellow (2010-2017) in the Energy & Transportation Science Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Deputy Director of the Urban Dynamics Institute (2014-2017) at ORNL, and a Senior Researcher in General Motors Global Research & Development (2008-2010). He received a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2004 and 2008, respectively, all in Mechanical Engineering.  He is a senior member of the IEEE, a fellow of the ASME, and a member of the Board of Governors in the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society.
