Prof. Salomon holds a Professional Researcher appointment with the University of California, Davis Institute of Transportation Studies, as well as a full-time appointment with the Department of Geography of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has been the director of the Hebrew University's Institute for Urban and Regional Studies, a Visiting Associate Professor at the Northwestern University Transportation Center (1986-88), and an Exchange Scientist at Tokyo University (1989). He has authored or co-authored more than 30 refereed articles and numerous other papers in the areas of travel behavior, telecommunications, transportation and spatial behavior, urban transportation and land use policy, and energy and the environment. Dr. Salomon has published research on telecommunications and travel since 1984. His work has been instrumental in moving the state of the art beyond the simplistic assumption that telecommunications can merely substitute for travel, to the realization that long-term and indirect effects may often increase travel.

He is a member of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Telecommunications and Travel Behavior and the European Science Foundation Network on Transport, Mobility, and Communications.
