Dominique Lord is a world-renowned French Canadian/American scientist/engineer who is primarily known for his research work in highway safety and engineering. He is currently a Professor and holder of the A.P. and Florence Wiley Faculty Fellowship in the Zachry Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Early life and education[edit]
Dominique was born in September 1969 and raised in Saint-Lambert, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. He is the son of a civil/municipal engineer and a registered nurse. In high school, he attended Collège Charles-Lemoyne and then Cégep Edouard-Montpetit, focusing on STEM subjects. He graduated in Civil Engineering from McGill University in 1992 and went on to complete his M.A.Sc. (1994) and Ph.D. (2000) in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto. He conducted his Ph.D. research under the guidance of Dr. Ezra Hauer[1], a world leader in highway safety research, and Dr. Bhagwant Persaud[2], a professor at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University).
Career[edit]
Academic Positions[edit]
Dominique is a Professor and holder of the A.P. and Florence Wiley Faculty Fellowship in the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Texas A&M University [3]. He joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2004, following a three-year tenure as an Associate Research Scientist with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. In 2001, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Toronto Metropolitan University. Since 2008, he has been an Associate Member of the Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation (CIRRELT) at the University of Montreal.
Research Work[edit]
Dominique conducts fundamental work in highway safety. He is known to have developed the theory for characterizing the crash process from the mathematical perspective[4] and detailing the negative effects related to using data characterized by small sample sizes and low sample mean on modeling crash data with the negative binomial[5] model, the Poisson-lognormal model[6], and several crash-severity models[7]. He also advanced the knowledge in quantifying the influences of site selection and regression-to-the-mean (RTM) biases when conducting before-after studies[8]. His team has developed the negative binomial-Lindley (NB-L) model[9] for analyzing crash or any other types of data characterized with excess zero observations. Along with Dr. Soheil Sohrabi, he developed the basic framework for identifying the safest paths in route planning applications for smart phones[10] [11] [12]. A patent application is currently under review [13]. He was the first researcher to introduce the Conway Maxwell Poisson (COM-Poisson), negative binomial generalized exponential (NB-GE), Support Vector Machine, and Bayesian Neural Networks among others to the highway safety community. He has published more than 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals. His Google Scholar citation stands at 17,000+ with an h-index=60[14] (as of April 2024).
Academic Recognitions[edit]
Dominique has been identified as the researcher who had the greatest impact in highway safety research[15], ranked among the top 5 most cited authors in the Journal Accident Analysis and Prevention[16], and ranked in the top 5 in accident analysis in the world according to ScholarGPS[17]. He has also been listed in the top 1% scholars in the world for the last five years[18][19][20][21][22]. Over the last 25 years, he has received numerous prestigious awards, including the CUTC-ARTBA New Faculty Award, the D. Grant Mickle Award (twice), the ITE D.B. Fambro Award (co-wrote paper with Dr. Soheil Sohrabi), the New Investigator Award for Non-intentional Injuries by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and several best papers awards at the Annual Meetings of the Transportation Research Board, a branch of the National Academy of the Sciences (NAS).
Given his academic recognitions, Dominique is often sought by the media to provide information about his work and important issues in highway safety. In 2014, he conducted a study on the safety effects of red-light cameras in Chicago on behalf of the Chicago Tribune[23] [24] [25]. He is a frequent contributor to the Toronto Star [26], Radio Health Journal[27], and other print/radio media [28] [29]
