Biography

Ryuichi Shibasaki is an Associate Professor at the Department of Systems Innovation, School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo. After getting PhD, he worked as a researcher at the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan for 15 years, and returned to The University of Tokyo in 2017. His research focus is primarily on global intermodal freight flow modelling, port logistics, and maritime big data analysis. Dr. Shibasaki’s research has received awards including three for “Best Application in Practices” from the Eastern Asia Society of Transport Studies (EASTS) and two from the International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME). He currently serves as an associate editor of Maritime Policy & Management, International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics, and Asian Transport Studies. Also, he is one of the representative organizers of the International Conference on Transportation and Logistics (TLOG Network).

Dong Yang is an Associate Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where he also holds positions as the associate head of the Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies, director of Doctor of International Shipping and Port program joint with Zhejiang University (D.ISP) and International Shipping and Transport Logistics Master Program (ISTL), director of PolyU Maritime Data and Sustainable Development Centre, deputy director of Research Centre for Environmental, Social, and Governance Advancement. Dr. Yang serves as an associate editor for the International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics (IJSTL) and Maritime Policy & Management (MPM) and an editorial board member of the Journal of Transport Geography and Transportation Research Part E and Maritime Economics & Logistics. Prof. YANG obtained his Ph.D. in maritime logistics science from Kobe University, Japan, in 2008. After that, he has successively served as an assistant professor at the Southern University of Denmark, a research fellow at the Centre for Maritime Studies, National University of Singapore, and a senior research fellow at China Waterborne Transport Research Institute.

Xiwen Bai is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University. She received the B.S. and Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University. Her main research interests include maritime economics and digital shipping. Her research has been published in leading international journals including Transportation Science and Transportation Research Part series. She also serves as associate editor for Maritime Policy & Management, a flagship journal in maritime transportation management. 

Haiying Jia is Professor of Quantitative Business Economics at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). She earned her PhD in Finance from Bayes Business School, City University of London, the United Kingdom, and previously worked in London as a Quantitative and Investment Analyst in the finance industry. She also holds an Honorary Professorship at Bayes Business School. An internationally recognized scholar in shipping economics and maritime data analytics, Professor Jia has spent more than a decade pioneering the use of maritime Automatic Identification System (AIS) big data to study shipping markets, global trade, and financial dynamics in maritime industries. Her research bridges economics, finance, and maritime analytics, offering perspectives on how large-scale shipping data can inform research on international trade and global supply chains. She has been a visiting scholar at leading institutions worldwide, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Tokyo, and Nanyang Technological University. Drawing on her combined experience in academia, the finance industry, and entrepreneurship, Professor Jia’s work advances innovative approaches to understanding maritime trade and the evolving role of AIS data in global economic systems.
