1 CARSP BOARD CANDIDATES BIOGRAPHIES (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY LAST NAME) 1. MARIE-SOLEIL CLOUTIER, PHD (CURRENT BOARD MEMBER) After completing a Masters in GIS at UQAM, MS Cloutier earned her PhD in geography at Université de Montréal. The originality of her thesis lies in the combined use of quantitative (methods of spatial analysis in GIS and multivariate statistical methods) and qualitative (representations of risk) methods for a better understanding of road risk on the way to school in a parent/child context. She is director of the Laboratory for Spatial Analysis and Regional Economics (SAREL) and member of the executive of the Network for Road Safety Research (RRSR). She is also involved in several multidisciplinary teams working on health issues and road safety. Her expertise in health geography and urban studies and is used in various research projects: the impact of different urban forms on traffic safety, children and seniors' pedestrian safety in cities, influence of environment on different behaviors and health status: blood donation, food, seasonal allergy. 2.
