Bio
Dr. Tom van Lier was a postdoctoral research associate in the research group MOBI led by Prof. Dr. Cathy Macharis at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel until January 2019. Currently he is still a voluntary research collaborator in MOBI. His work focuses on evaluating the sustainability of transport solutions by means of external transport cost calculations. He has been involved in several research projects dealing with topics such as social cost-benefit analysis of transport options, external cost savings of freight bundling, carbon footprint calculations and life-cycle assessment of transport services. His PhD in Applied Economics Business Engineering (September 2014) focused on the development of an external cost calculator framework for evaluating the sustainability of transport solutions. Within MOBI, he was also involved in the carbon emission reducing Lean & Green project of the Flemish Institute for Logistics as neutral assessor. Currently he works as a free-lance project collaborator and holds positions as a board member in several SME’s.
