Alan Stanard is a staff engineer in ERG’s Clean Transportation service area. He specializes in measurement and modeling of emissions of internal combustion engines and vehicles. Alan been managing automotive emissions research projects for over 20 years, including experience with dynamometers, portable emissions measurement systems, and remote sensing devices for measuring exhaust and evaporative emissions. In addition, he has helped develop methods to measure and characterize particulate emissions from brakes and tires. 

Much of Alan’s research has been conducted in support of informing vehicle emissions inventory models such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) and California Air Resources Board’s Emission Factor (EMFAC) model. He has years of experience with these models, including data sources, model organization, and function. 

Alan has an M.S and B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, where he also participated in collegiate Formula-SAE competition in which teams designed, built, and raced their own open-wheeled cars.
