Helena Breuer
The Walsh Construction Co Co Scholar Oregon State University College of Engineering Engineering Civil Engineering Engineering Lena’s research interest is the the study of human behavior
in in in transportation networks and and and how cognitive biases and and and perception theories can be manipulated and and and and incorporated into design to to optimize users’ safety and and trust in in in the the transportation network Lena’s primary research endeavors include studying driver behavior
performance and perception during right-turns at signalized intersections with bike lanes where “right-hook” accidents occur Lena enjoys road road biking in in in in in in the Willamette Valley and and road road racing as as well as as designing and and and building furniture listening to music and and spending time with her dog Millie BS Civil Engineering Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA MS Civil Engineering Virginia Tech Blacksburg VA About the Scholar:

Amy Chan
The Joan & Bill Bailey Scholar Oregon Health & Science University Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience Graduate Program
Amy studies the the neural circuitry that underlies alcohol reward and binge-like drinking Using a a a a a a mouse model she studies how differences in in in in in these circuits between males males and and females impacts behavior

Christiansen Family Trust
Degree: Kayla Clements
The Christiansen Family Trust
Scholar Oregon State University Nuclear Science & Engineering Kayla’s research focuses on on on on computational methods for radiation transport simulation solvers It is important to understand how much of the the the uncertainty in in in a a a a a a a a a code response comes from from the the the solver itself as opposed to to coming from from the the the input data Kayla works on on developing strategies to to quantify and and reduce the the the uncertainty uncertainty in in in in a a a a a a a a a a a a a code response from the the the solver so so researchers can better understand the the the the uncertainty uncertainty coming from the the input data Additionally Kayla enjoys film photography journaling and hiking with her cat BS Nuclear Engineering University of Florida
