Suite à cela, elle intègre le Service de l eau de la Ville de Montréal où elle travaille présentement à mettre en place une plateforme structurée de la gestion des actifs des réseaux d eau secondaires. Parallèlement, elle poursuit en temps partiel des études doctorales en gestion des actifs. Son sujet de thèse porte sur le développement d un outil économique d aide à la décision pour assister les gestionnaires dans leurs décisions de savoir s il est avantageux ou non de faire la coordination des travaux sur trois (3) systèmes : eau potable, égout et voirie. Nathalie Oum, graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d électronique, d électrotechnique, d informatique, d Hydraulique et de Télécommunications, in Toulouse (France), where she received her Bachelor degree in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics. She pursued graduate studies at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, where she obtained her Master degree in Operational research, with a focus in optimization of rehabilitation plans for water main systems. She joined the Cima-Génivar-Tecsult- Aecom Consortium, where she actively participated in the project of developing the intervention Plan for water, sewer and road networks for the City of Montreal during 4 years. Following this, she joined the Water Service of the City of Montreal, where she is currently working to establish a structured asset management platform for local water and sewer mains. Meanwhile, she continues part-time doctoral studies in Asset Management. Her thesis focuses on the development of a decision support system to assist municipal planners in their decisions to whether coordinate or not infrastructure works among three (3) municipal systems: water, sewer and roads.

5 TREASURER Ahsan Alam Dept. of Civil Engg. & Applied Mechanics, Room 492, Macdonald Engineering Building, 817 Sherbrooke Street West Montreal, Quebec, H3A 0C3 Home phone: Cell phone: Office: Desk-07, Room-MD398, McDonald Engg. Building Ahsan is a PhD candidate in the Civil Engineering department of McGill University. His current research is focused on understanding and investigating transit bus emissions. It involves evaluating the influences of different factors such as roadway characteristics, passenger loading, speed aggregation etc. to understand the detailing required in estimating bus emissions. His research also investigates the impacts of different alternative technologies and improved operational conditions that could achieve meaningful reduction of transit emissions. He investigated the impacts of several transit improvement strategies on emissions that were implemented by Société de Transport de Montréal (STM) in a busy urban transit corridor in Montreal. At present, he is investigating the effect of speed aggregation on the simulation of transit bus emissions. It attempts to improve the precision of traditional average speed based emission modelling techniques and to develop a more sophisticated emission estimation methodology that could be used along with traditional regional meso-scale traffic model. He started his PhD in January 2011 and he is an important member of the Transportation and Air Quality (TRAQ) group under the supervision of Dr. Marianne Hatzopoulou. He completed his B.Sc in Civil Engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) where his research was mainly focused on evaluating the performance of two recently built flyovers. Later, he obtained his M.A.Sc in Civil Engineering from The University of British Columbia, Canada. His Masters research involved the quantification of the road safety benefits of sustainable transportation modes including transit bus and bike. He was elected as the student representative and served as a committee member of the CITE BC Interior Chapter where he played a strong role in organizing events and conferences. He was awarded for various student paper (presentation and poster) competitions. He loves traveling, biking, cooking and watching sports.
