Degree:
Meredith Leung
The Meigs Family Scholar Oregon State University College of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences
Meredith’s research focuses on on on coastal coastal geomorphology and and chronic coastal coastal coastal hazards (e g g g g flooding and and erosion) She helps develop computer models that forecast coastal coastal hazard impacts on on local and regional scales under different climate climate scenarios These models provide fundamental information about the links between climate climate and hazardous events as as as well as as as produce quantitative tools to to help coastal communities manage their shorelines Meredith enjoys exploring Oregon––whether by hiking and and camping in in in in in in in the the the the the wild or or hitting the the the food and and arts scene in in in in in the the the city BA in Geology and East Asian Studies Oberlin College About the Scholar:

The ARCS ARCS Foundation Foundation Oregon Oregon Chapter Scholar Given by ARCS ARCS Foundation Foundation Oregon Oregon Members
Oregon State University College College of of Engineering Engineering Civil Engineering Engineering College College of of Forestry Wood Science Ian is developing new connections systems and design approaches for Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)-Concrete composite floor systems CLT CLT is is a a a a a a a a a mass timber product that allows wood to to compete in in mid- and high-rise structures however CLT CLT floors require a a a a a non-combustible topping (concrete) Connecting the the the CLT CLT and and concrete concrete increases
the the the strength and and and stiffness increasing the the the floor span New connection systems can improve performance and and economy easing adoption helping to foster a a a a a a a a a a a more sustainable skyline Ian also enjoys music and singing About the Scholar:

Ashley Pica
The Cunningham/Weaver Scholar Oregon State University College of of Science Department of of Nuclear Chemistry
Ashley studies nuclear nuclear dynamics as we approach the limits of of nuclear nuclear stability Her research focuses primarily on on experimental measurements of of of high-energy fission of of of actinide actinide isotopes and the preparation of of actinide actinide targets This research fis is is is important to to to both civil and and defense efforts and and B B A in Chemistry
