Lee Schipper
Staff Senior Scientist and co-leader of the International Energy Studies group. Lee has been studying transport issues since 1973 and has authored more than 100 publications on the subject. Lee is associated with the Stockholm Environment Institute, and has worked as a visiting Fellow with the Industry and Energy Department of the World Bank, Group Planning, Shell International Petroleum Company, and one year as a Fulbright Scholar at the Beijer Institute in Stockholm. He has consulted for the U.N., the OECD/IEA, the World Bank, and many other international organizations, and is a Senior Associate of Cambridge Energy Research Associates. He is also a member of Global Business Network. Lee's transportation related research has focused on examining the link between transportation, human lifestyle and mobility, motor vehicles, energy, emissions, and the environment.

Tom Wenzel
Tom Wenzel is a Scientific Engineering Associate at LBNL working in transporation energy and environmental policy analysis. Tom has been analyzing in-use vehicle emission data since 1992. For three years he compiled and analyzed in-use emissions data from state vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs for EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. He has used these data to compare different methods for exempting clean vehicles from I/M testing, evaluate state I/M programs, analyze seasonal variation in emissions, and compare average emissions by vehicle model. Tom has evaluated I/M programs for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the California Inspection and Maintenance Review Committee. Tom has also developed an improved computer model to simulate vehicle emissions, with a team of researchers at UCRiverside.

Tom also has analyzed energy use from motor vehicles. He has developed a statistical model of household vehicle miles traveled for the California Energy Commission, and has written a report reviewing several proposed pay-as-you-drive automobile insurance policies for the Department of Energy. He has analyzed the effect reducing vehicle weight in order to improve fuel economy has on occupant safety. He has a master's degree in Public Policy from the University of California at Berkeley.
