Senior Administration

Randolph Hall
Vice Provost for Research Advancement

Randolph Hall was appointed vice provost for research advancement in June 2005.

He has been the founding director of two interdisciplinary and multi-university national research centers in collaboration with other universities and across schools within USC. The first, METRANS, is the national center for metropolitan transportation and policy research and is the focal point for transportation research at USC. The second center is the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE), the first university center of excellence selected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after a competition among 72 universities.

Hall also leads a collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to improve health-care delivery at Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center with support from L.A. Care.

He is the author and editor of books on queueing, transportation science and delay reduction in health-care delivery (forthcoming).

Hall has served as the chair of the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and as senior associate dean for research in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where he was responsible for research development, research administration and collaboration of interdisciplinary research efforts. He holds a Ph.D. degree from UC Berkeley.
