Giovanni Circella is Honda Distinguished Scholar for New Mobility Studies and Director of the 3 Revolutions Future Mobility Program at the University of California, Davis, and Senior Research Engineer in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr Circella’s interests include travel behavior, emerging mobility services, travel demand modeling, and travel survey methods. He is currently leading a large study on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on transportation in 17 regions of the USA and Canada. Dr Circella is the chair of the TRB Committee on ICT and Transportation (AEP35) and a member of the Travel Behavior and Values (AEP30) committee. He is a member of the Executive Board of the International Association for Travel Behavior Research (IATBR). He serves on several NCHRP/TCRP panels on the impacts of emerging transportation technologies and cooperates with several planning agencies and non-profit organizations.

R. Jayakrishnan is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and affiliated to the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California at Irvine, since 1991. He received a BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and his doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin. He has served as the director of the Radio-Optics and Telecommunications Laboratory of the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology at UCI. His research interests are in traffic flow theory and simulation, transportation systems analysis, network modeling, public transit, and shared mobility systems. He developed Dynasmart, one of the earliest modeling frameworks of Intelligent Transportation Systems from the early 1990s, and for popularizing the use of Gradient Projection algorithms for network assignment in transportation planning. He has served in the editorial committees of ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering, Transportation Research Part-C, and other journals, and has served in several professional committees and academic panels of the Federal Highway Administration, National Science Foundation, and the Transportation Research Board (TRB). He has over 125 refereed publications to his credit.
