dealing with transport issues from multiple perspectives-business,
academic and government. He has provided expert testimony in a number of
major legal and regulatory cases     relating to air transport in the
U.S., undertaken studies of the profitability of container shipping and
on the long-run prospects for freight railroads.

many senior advisory positions including Member of President Carter's
Council of Economic Advisors He has held     full-time faculty
appointments at Harvard University, Princeton University, the George
Washington University, and the University of Maryland, College Park.

Dr Eads was the lead Consultant to the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development's Sustainable Mobility Project. The Sustainable
Mobility Project is unique in that it was a cooperative effort among
twelve leading international firms involved in the motor vehicle and
related industries-BP, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda,
Michelin, Nissan, Norsk Hydro, Renault, Shell, and Toyota-to assess the
sustainability of mobility and determine what might be done to improve
it.
