Speakers
Christopher Cherry
Professor in Civil Engineering at the University of Tennessee
Dr. Cherry is a professor at the University of Tennessee. His research interests include bicycle and pedestrian safety and system design; the role of e-bikes, micromobility, and other emerging technologies in the transportation system; multimodal transportation planning and economics; travel behavior and demand; sustainable transportation; and transit security. About half of his research work is focused on the rapid motorization of Asia, with research projects in China. His domestic research agenda includes evaluating safety and system performance of non-motorized and transit systems, as well as commercial vehicles. He also focuses on market penetration and impacts of alternative transportation technologies and fuels. He leads the Light Electric Vehicle Education and Research (LEVER) Initiative, a consortium of universities and industry to explore the role of emerging and potentially disruptive classes of electric vehicles on transportation, sustainability, and health. He is a member of the Transportation Research Board (where he is on the Developing Country Committee and chairs the joint subcommittee on Emerging Vehicle Technologies). He hairs the Society of Automotive Engineers Micromobility Committee. He received an NSF CAREER award that focused on sustainability implications of adoption behaviors of emerging technologies. Dr. Cherry received his BS and MS degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Arizona and received his PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007.
Derek Chisholm AICP
Derek Chisholm AICP, LEED GA, ENV SP Associate Vice President, AECOM
Mr. Chisholm is a senior-level urban planner and designer with 30 years of experience in multi-modal transportation projects, bike and pedestrian design, and curb use. He has specialized experience in planning and designing for the electric bikes. Through AECOM, he has led modeling studies, policy development, and design tasks for ebikes. In his off-time, he designs and builds ebikes. He, his wife and dog enjoy travelling around the City on a three-wheel, two-seat vehicle. He moved to New Orleans after 14 years of progressive experience in Portland, Oregon, including service as a project manager, adjunct professor, and planning commission chair. He is a contributing author for the new ASCE book Engineering for Sustainable Communities, and the book Bicycle Urbanism. In the book, he lays out the hypothesis of “Middle Modalism” – encouraging planners and engineers to integrate these new vehicle classes into roadway networks. His work has been the focus of a short article in Time Magazine and many sessions at regional and national conferences.
