Dr. Gkritza is a Professor at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University and a Purdue University Faculty Scholar. She is the Director of the Sustainable Transportation Systems Research Group, the Campus Director of the NSF ASPIRE Engineering Research Center and the ASPIRE Adoption Thrust co-Lead. Her research primarily focuses on advancing the understanding of the triple bottom line (economic, environmental, and social) for sustainable transportation systems and developing empirical models and practical tools for use in transportation decision-making. Her recent work revolves around assessing the direct and indirect impacts of transportation innovations and technologies, such as transportation electrification, and connected and automated vehicles. In this presentation, Dr. Gkritza will join virtually and discuss the impetus and vision of the National Science Foundation’s new Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification – ASPIRE for short.
