BIO

Lisa Aultman-Hall is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Vermont (UVM). From 2006-2011, she served as the founding director of the UVM Transportation Research Center. Prior to coming to UVM, Dr. Aultman-Hall was the Director of the Connecticut Transportation Institute at the University of Connecticut. She has also worked in association with US DOT University Transportation Centers (UTC) for 20 years.

Dr. Aultman-Hall's research has focused on innovative travel data collection. She has recently focused on long distance intercity travel but remains committed to work in bicycle transportation, electric vehicle adoption and system resiliency especially as it relates to planning for climate adaptation. In 2014, Dr. Aultman-Hall was selected by the UVM Graduate Student Senate as Outstanding Faculty Advisor. Dr. Aultman-Hall enjoys a wide range of teaching duties at UVM including first year design, the third year introduction to transportation engineering and several interdisciplinary graduate sustainable transportation systems classes.
