TSL Business Meeting 2022

  
During the INFORMS annual meeting last week, we held our annual business meeting. Thanks to Jan for leading TSL in the past year, and thanks to Sara and Justin for organising TSL's part of INFORMS! 

During our business meeting, we (i) presented our new officers, (ii) handed out many awards, (iii) looked back and forth, and (iv) Karen provided an update on our flagship journal Transportation Science. 

Congratulations to five newly elected officers: Margaretha Gansterer (TSL VP/President-elect), Lavanya Marla (Secretary), Layla Martin (Communications Chair), Heng Chen (SIG Air-Transport Vice Chair), Sibel Alumur Alev (TSL Cluster Vice Chair). Look out for our upcoming introductions of new officers! 

With support of the TSL Cross-Regional grant, Gianmarco Andreana will visit Nicole Adler, and Venktesh Pandey will collaborate with Tarun Rambha. 

This year's doctoral dissertation award goes to Matthias Soppert, with honourable mentions to Rolf van Lieshout and Sara Reed. All three published remarkable doctoral theses which will advance the field of transportation science. Congratulations to all three of you! We will introduce all three young researchers in the next weeks. 

Throughout the last year, we saw a remarkable number of outstanding papers on transportation! The TSL best paper award goes to Ye Chen, Nikola Markovic, Ilya O. Ryzhov, and Paul Schonfeld for their paper Data-Driven Robust Resource Allocation with Monotonic Cost Functions published in Operations Research, with an honourable mention for Nicholas D. Kullman, Justin C. Goodson, and Jorge E. Mendoza for their paper Electric Vehicle Routing with Public Charging Stations published in Transportation Science. Three papers received awards within their communities: Maximilian Schiffer, Nils Boysen, Patrick S. Klein, Gilbert Laporte, and Marco Pavone for Optimal Picking Policies in E-Commerce Warehouses; Luca Accorsi and Daniele Vigo for A Fast and Scalable Heuristic for the Solution of Large-scale Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems; and Mostafa Ameli, Mohamad Sadegh Shirani Faradonbeh, Jean-Patrick Lebacque, Hossein Abouee-Mehrizi, and Ludovic Leclercq for Departure Time Choice Models in Urban Transportation Systems Based on Mean Field Games

For the first time, we do not only have a TSL Lifetime Award, but also an award for researchers in the middle of their career, the Stella Dafermos Mid-Career Award. Congratulations to the inaugural winner Niels Agatz, and look out for our upcoming profile on him!
