He has moved from Sydney/Australia to Dresden to be the head of the new Lighthouse Professorship "Transport Modelling and Simulation” – a call that came to him completely unexpectedly and delighted him greatly, as he himself says (see article in the online magazine "Verkehrslage").

On 16 June, he will introduce himself to the TUD community and network partners in a university-wide inaugural lecture entitled "How We Move into the Future: The Complex Models Needed to Understand Emerging Transport". Interested parties are cordially invited.

date: June 16, 2022
time: 4:40 - 6:10 pm
place: Heinz-Schönfeld-auditorium, Barkhausenbau I90, Helmholtzstraße 18

The lecture will be held in English and will also be livestreamed on Youtube.

A first impression of the transport and traffic visionary and his research topics is provided by a current video interview of TU Dresden with S. Travis Waller.

Sustainability and Ethics in the Mobility of the Future: Introducing S. Travis Waller

The US-Australian and transport visionary Prof. Dr. S. Travis Waller took over the leadership of the new Lighthouse Professorship "Transport Modelling and Simulation" at the "Friedrich List” Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences at TU Dresden (TUD) on 1 April 2022. Engineer S. Travis Waller is a world-class researcher in the field of simulation and modelling of innovative transport systems. His work has supported stakeholders worldwide in the planning and design of mobility and infrastructure for more than 20 years. A central theme of his current research is the development of quantified methods for transport system modelling with consideration of equity, fairness, environmental impacts and other ethics-related impacts of transport.
