School of Engineering
	Prof. Frederick Browand: Vehicle aerodynamics browand@spock.usc.edu
	Prof. Maged Dessouky: maged@usc.edu http://www.usc.edu/dept/ise/faculty/Dessouky1.html Dr. Dessouky has an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of models and heuristic methods for transportation system optimization. He is currently an investigator on several transit-related projects, including the NSF-sponsored Real-time Scheduling of Demand Responsive Systems Project. He received his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from University of California, Berkeley, and M.S. and B.S. degrees from Purdue University. He is the Area Editor of Planning and Scheduling for the International Journal of Computers & Industrial Engineering.

	Prof. Petros Ioannou: Vehicle dynamics and control; traffic flow control; Agile Ports ioannou@rcf.usc.edu http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~ioannou/
	Prof. Laurent Itti itti@pollux.usc.edu We are developing neuromorphic vision algorithms with applications to the visually-guided control of autonomous robotics vehicles. Algorithms mimic the known attributes of early visual pathways in the primate brain, and focus on topics that include attracting attention towards conspicuous scene elements, recognizing objects and actors at attended scene locations, recognizing actions in dynamic scenes, quickly deriving the gist and coarse layout of a scene from a single frame, and biasing the visual analysis of a scene based on high-level behavioral goals.

	Prof. James E. Moore, II: Transportation engineering and land use planning moore@usc.edu http://www.usc.edu/schools/sppd/faculty/moore.html Professor Moore does fundamental research on the engineering economic aspects of large-scale transportation and land use systems, including seismic risk analysis for transportation networks. Most recently, Professor Moore has collaborated with others in the development of a large scale land use and transportation model of the Los Angeles region for predicting post-earthquake transportation flows. He also applies associative memories and other connectionist computing schemes to the advanced transportation management objectives supported by intelligent vehicle highway systems. He publishes extensively in the transportation engineering and urban planning literatures
	Prof. Mansour Rahimi: Human factors in vehicle design mrahimi@usc.edu Dr. Rahimi is interested in the human side of advanced transportation systems. This includes issues related to safety technology (design and evaluation), system safety engineering (reliability, hazard analysis, failure analysis), human-computer interaction (in-vehicle information technology, cognitive load and driver distraction, usability evaluation and testing). He is also interested in studying the environmental impact of transportation systems (Life-Cycle Analysis, Design for Environment, environmental supply chain and information technology).
