Long-distance travel is costly in many ways – carbon, time, effort, & money. It’s much more efficient for most academicians to stay back from most meetings they are invited to. I regularly suggest remote participation, and my grad student class just released a survey on the topic of flying less, so we’ll be writing a paper in the coming months.

Four degrees from U.C. Berkeley (3 in civil engineering, plus minors in economics). NSF CAREER Award winner, MIT Tech Review Top 100 (young) Innovators winner, Google Research Award Winner, U.C. Berkeley Medalist, etc.
