Ryan Chin is a Research Associate and PhD Candidate at the MIT Media Laboratory in the Smart Cities research group. His research in Urban Mobility Systems addresses the energy and mobility problems of 21st century cities such as energy efficiency, congestion, urban land-use, and carbon emissions leading to global warming. Chin has also led the development of “Mobility-on-Demand” (MoD) Systems—allowing users to simply walk to the closest charging station, swipe a credit card, pick-up a vehicle and then drop-off at another charging station. He also co-founded the MIT Smart Customization group (SCG) in 2007 with the aim of improving the ability of companies to efficiently customize products and services across a diverse set of industries and customer groups. Chin’s research in SCG currently focuses on the environmental, energy, and material benefits of smart customization in products.
