About
Gregory A. Keoleian is a pioneering researcher in sustainable systems and life cycle assessment, with a focus on reducing the environmental impacts of transportation and urban logistics. His work critically examines the carbon footprint of emerging technologies, particularly in the context of e-commerce and last-mile delivery. In a highly cited 2021 study (46 citations), Keoleian quantified the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of automated parcel delivery using vehicles and robots, revealing both the potential benefits and hidden costs of automation. He followed this with a 2022 analysis (15 citations) comparing the carbon footprint of grocery shopping and transportation options, including automated warehouses and robots, across 72 unique supply chain paths. These contributions provide essential data for designing more sustainable urban freight systems. Keoleian’s research is instrumental for policymakers, engineers, and students seeking to understand the real environmental trade-offs of automation and e-commerce growth. His work consistently bridges engineering innovation with environmental science, making him a leading voice in sustainable mobility and life cycle thinking.
