Ann & Ron Emmerson
Degree:
Dallas Foster
The Emmerson Family Scholar
Oregon State University, College of Science, Department of Mathematics
Dallas’ research interest focuses on mathematical techniques for understanding the uncertainty or randomness in data and forecasting. The goal of these techniques is to better quantify the statistics of large, complex systems when we only have a relatively small amount of data. These types of scenarios have numerous applications, for example in chemistry, remote-sensing and climate modeling. When not working, Dallas and his wife enjoy biking, hiking and playing with their dog, Bentley.

Degrees:
Lucas Freiberg
The Mark H. &
Leslie M. Workman Scholar
Oregon State University,
College of Engineering, School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering
Lucas’ research is focused on storing solar energy. Presently, fossil energy sources provide heat that society needs for transportation, power-generation and industrial applications. However, concentrated solar power can
be used to drive chemical reactions that recycle CO2 and increase the energy content of fossil fuels, ultimately reducing carbon emissions. Innovative design work by Lucas intends to increase the commercial viability of solar thermochemical technology. Lucas loves spending time outdoors camping, biking, skiing and snowboarding.

Degree:
Gisela Gonzalez-Montiel
The Goodwin/Rothschild Scholar
Oregon State University, College of Science, Organic Chemistry
Gisela’s research involves bioprospecting symbiotic fungi associated with Oregon Douglas fir and other endophytic fungi for human health application by investigating potentially new bioactive metabolites. Her work will benefit society in medicinal drugs. Gisela enjoys cardio kickboxing, puzzles, and bike rides.
