Two OSU Student Researchers Elected to TRB Committees
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) has groups called standing committees that are tasked with a range of services including: identifying research needs; providing information to the transportation community on research priorities and procedures; reviewing papers for presentation at the TRB Annual Meeting and for publication; encouraging the incorporation of appropriate research findings into practice; and developing special programs, conferences, and workshops. Standing committee members may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms and are considered experts in their field. Standing committees are overseen by TRB’s Technical Activities Division.
This year, two PacTrans consortium student researchers (both from Oregon State University) have been awarded spots on TRB committees:
Masoud Ghodrat Abadi, Second year PhD student, Younger Member, TRB Committee on Education and Training (ABG20), 2016
Zach Barlow, First year MS student, Younger Member, TRB Committee on Transportation Engineering (ABG50), 2016
Congratulations Masoud and Zach!
