Aboutthe
Dean
Professor Lawrence Lan received his B.S. degree in Civil
Engineering from National Taiwan University in 1976, M.S. degree
in Traffic (Civil Engineering) from National Taiwan University
in 1979, and Ph.D. degree in Transportation (Civil Engineering)
from University of California at Berkeley in 1986. After
teaching in the Institute of Traffic and Transportation at
National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) for 27 years, Prof. Lan
was retired in 2006 and honored as a lifetime Emeritus Professor
of NCTU. Starting from August 2007, he was invited to MingDao
University as a full-time professor and at the meantime
appointed as the Director of Institute of Management and the
Dean of College of Management.
Professor Lan has devoted his life to educating students and
researching on traffic flow studies, transportation economics,
productivity and performance evaluation, econometric modeling
and forecasting. He has won many academic research awards from
local and international societies. He ever supervised 70 masters
and 18 PhDs at NCTU, published approximately 400 journal
refereed papers, conference papers and research reports. In
addition, Professor Lan has been serving as associate editor or
guest editor for several international journals, including
Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers, Transportmetrica,
Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies,
International Journal of Sustainable Transportation,
International Journal of Environment and Sustainable
Development, and International Journal of Applied Evolutionary
Computation.
Professor Lan used to be very actively participating in
international and local academic activities. He ever served as
director-at-large of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation
Studies (EASTS), vice chairman of the International Scientific
Committee (ISC)-EASTS, and chair of the awarding sub-committee
for ISC-EASTS. He has been invited as keynote speaker or guest
speaker in many international conferences or workshops. Besides,
Professor Lan has also been active in Taiwan’s transportation
society and cross-strait’s academic activities. He ever served
as the key member, advisor, or chair for many committees in the
central and local government organizations. He was the
inspecting committee member, co-chair or chair for Taipei Rapid
Transit System, Taiwan High Speed Rail, Taipei MaoKung Skyline
System, and Kaohsiung Rapid Transit System. Professor Lan was
also the advisor to the mayors of Taipei City and Taipei County
for nearly 20 years.
Professor Lan values academic research very much. After joining
MingDao University, he has been fully dedicated to the
university administrative affairs, but he never brings to a
standstill in doing research. He always encourages the young
faculty to form research teams for interdisciplinary research
projects and publish the works in international journals. Over
the past one year, Professor has published several refereed
papers as follows:
