暫譯: 城市物流轉型：電子商務與可持續循環經濟方法

Melkonyan-Gottschalk is Professor for Sustainability and Socio-Technical Transformation at Clausthal University of Technology with focus areas in Environmental Economics, Circular Economy, Sustainable Supply Chains and Logistics/Mobility, as well as in Transformation of Urban Regions. Before she took on this professorship, she was Scientific Director of the Center for Logistics and Traffic at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and international consulting expert in the NASA-funded Project on Land-use and Land Cover Changes in South Caucasus, in frames of which she acted at visiting Professor at Oklahoma University. Within the frames of the projects ILoNa "Innovative Logistics for Sustainable Lifestyles", CONUS- "Competence Network of Industrial and Rural Interlinkages", PRIMA-funded ImPULSe "Innovative Citrus By-Products Supply Chain in Mediterranean Area" she and her team carried out sustainability assessments throughout the entire value chain of the modern services for stationary and online commerce, while at the same time considering new business models, like sharing and circular economy, drafting transformation pathways along the entire supply chains. Through the projects on "Economic Assessment of Environmental Impact", funded by NASA; "Climate Mitigation and adaptation strategies" for the cities of Duisburg and Essen, "Essen - Green Capital City of Europe, 2017" as well as Mercator Foundation funded project "NEMO - New Emscher Mobility", Prof. Melkonyan-Gottschalk is working with local governmental authorities, as well as industrial partners to develop collaborative decision support systems for sustainability transition strategies.

Prof. Melkonyan-Gottschalk has completed her habilitation (Venia Legendi) on Climate Change Influences on Economy. She received her PhD at the University of Duisburg-Essen, on the topic "Statistical Analysis of Long-Term Air Pollution in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany". Her Master Thesis was related to mathematical modeling in Macroeconomy, completed at the Yerevan State University, Armenia. Prof. Dr. Melkonyan-Gottschalk has published more than thirty scientific publications and five monographs.

Dr. Yanying Li received her Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from the University of Southampton and her Master's in Geodesy and Survey Engineering from Tsinghua University. She began her career in the design and application of in-vehicle navigation systems, laying the technical foundation for her later work in sustainable mobility. She is recognized for her expertise in innovation, policy, and governance of sustainable urban mobility and city climate action. Her career includes roles as Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, Senior Manager at ERTICO - ITS Europe, Liaison Officer at the Global Covenant of Mayors, and Head of Programme at the Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ALICE). She led the Urban Logistics Subgroup of the European Commission's Expert Group on Urban Mobility and was appointed as evaluator for the EU's 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission. Since 2008, Dr. Li has driven sustainable urban mobility research and innovation through EU programmes including FP6, FP7, Horizon 2020, and Horizon Europe. Her work has addressed active and multimodal transport, traffic safety, zero-emission vehicle deployment, and integrated passenger-freight systems. More recently, she has focused on decarbonising urban logistics in response to the rapid growth of e-commerce and home delivery, shaping solutions that reduce emissions while enabling efficient and sustainable last-mile transport.

梅爾科尼安-戈特沙克（Melkonyan-Gottschalk）是克勞斯塔爾科技大學的可持續性與社會技術轉型教授，專注於環境經濟學、循環經濟、可持續供應鏈及物流/移動性，以及城市地區的轉型。在擔任此教授職位之前，她是杜伊斯堡-埃森大學物流與交通中心的科學主任，並且是美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）資助的南高加索土地使用與土地覆蓋變化項目的國際顧問專家，期間她曾擔任奧克拉荷馬大學的訪問教授。在ILoNa「可持續生活方式的創新物流」、CONUS「工業與農村互聯網絡能力網絡」、PRIMA資助的ImPULSe「地中海地區創新柑橘副產品供應鏈」等項目中，她和她的團隊對現代服務於實體及線上商務的整個價值鏈進行了可持續性評估，同時考慮了共享經濟和循環經濟等新商業模式，並在整個供應鏈中擬定轉型路徑。透過NASA資助的「環境影響經濟評估」項目、杜伊斯堡和埃森市的「氣候緩解與適應策略」、以及「2017年歐洲綠色首都」和梅爾卡托基金會資助的「NEMO - 新艾姆舍移動性」項目，梅爾科尼安-戈特沙克教授與當地政府機構及工業夥伴合作，開發可持續轉型策略的協作決策支持系統。

梅爾科尼安-戈特沙克教授已完成氣候變遷對經濟影響的資格論文（Venia Legendi）。她在杜伊斯堡-埃森大學獲得博士學位，研究主題為「德國北萊茵-西法倫州長期空氣污染的統計分析」。她的碩士論文與宏觀經濟的數學建模有關，於亞美尼亞葉里溫國立大學完成。梅爾科尼安-戈特沙克教授已發表超過三十篇科學出版物和五本專著。

李燕英博士（Dr. Yanying Li）在南安普敦大學獲得交通工程博士學位，並在清華大學獲得測量與地理資訊碩士學位。她的職業生涯始於車載導航系統的設計與應用，為她後來在可持續移動性方面的工作奠定了技術基礎。她因在可持續城市移動性和城市氣候行動的創新、政策及治理方面的專業知識而受到認可。她的職業生涯包括南安普敦大學的研究員、歐洲智能交通系統協會（ERTICO）的高級經理、全球市長公約的聯絡官，以及歐洲物流創新合作聯盟（ALICE）的項目負責人。她曾領導歐洲委員會城市移動性專家小組的城市物流子小組，並被任命為歐盟100個氣候中立和智慧城市任務的評估員。自2008年以來，李博士透過包括FP6、FP7、Horizon 2020和Horizon Europe在內的歐盟計劃推動可持續城市移動性研究和創新。她的工作涵蓋了主動和多模式交通、交通安全、零排放車輛的部署以及綜合客貨運系統。最近，她專注於應對電子商務和家庭配送快速增長的城市物流脫碳，塑造減少排放的解決方案，同時實現高效和可持續的最後一公里運輸。
