Spring 2024 Undergraduate of the Quarter – Phoebe Lee
Phoebe Lee was born in China, but immigrated young and grew up in Portland, OR where she attended Clackamas High School. She applied as a chemistry undergrad because she enjoyed the chemistry courses in high school. As she studied chemistry further in college, she loved chemistry for its versatility and complexity. Oregon State University has a strong research-oriented science program. Knowing she wanted to major in chemistry, accessible research experience in invaluable. Plus, the campus is beautiful, and allows her to stay close to her family and friends. She is currently performing research in OSU’s Mass Spectrometry Center with Dr. Maier’s group under guidance from a graduate mentor. Currently, they are using mass spectrometry and imaging technology to analyze brain tissues of mice with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By charactering the lipid profile of mice brains, they hope to identify significant lipid biomarkers for pre-symptomatic AD diagnosis. She got into research through OSU’s STEM Leaders Program her freshman year. It matched me with Dr. Maier’s lab, and she’s been researching since! She wants to continue in higher education. Graduate school is the goal, but ultimately she plans to join industry. Reading is her favorite past time. She also enjoys being outdoors, practicing music, and spending time with her friends and family. Her favorite book is All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. With the weather getting warmer, her favorite food is tending towards cold, fresh fruit. Her favorite fruit during the summer is Hami melon (like a cantaloupe but oblong in shape, sweeter in taste, and crispier in texture).
Spring 2024 Undergraduate of the Quarter – Matthew Gray
Mathew grew up right here in Corvallis and chose Oregon State because of its great science program and so that he can stay close to family. Also he received a scholarship to play Violin in the Organ State University Orchestra. Mathew originally started out as a biochemistry and molecular biology major to fulfil the prerequisites for dental school. During his second year he was enjoying organic chemistry, because for the first time it felt like I could explain and reason his way to solutions at a more fundamental level than ever. He ultimately decided to switch my major to chemistry so that he could continue pursuing it if he decided to abandon his dental school plans.
After graduation, Mathew plans to go to dental school. Due to the requirements for dental school, he has taken a wide variety of courses outside of chemistry that he has greatly enjoyed. The more he’s learned in these classes, the more he’s grown to love science (especially chemistry). More recently, Mathew been seriously considering graduate school instead of dental school to continue satisfying his passion for science.
If not in school you can find Mathew exercising, playing the violin, and video editing. He really enjoys the sport of MMA and practices Brazilian jiu jitsu several days per week. His favorite book to read is the Bible because it has more significance in his life than any other book. Mathew’s favorite food is the barbeque chicken and macaroni and cheese that his younger brother makes.
Apply Today! DOE Science, Technology and Policy Opportunity – Office of International Affairs
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of International Affairs (IA), Office of Multilateral Climate and Clean Energy Engagement seeks motivated candidates to take on today’s pressing climate challenges through a fellowship with its DOE Science, Technology, and Policy (STP) Program. Specifically, this fellowship will focus on the challenges of industrial decarbonization through the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM). The CEM is a multilateral organization with 29 member countries, including the United States, working to rapidly increase the deployment of clean energy technologies.
This fellowship may support the development and harmonization of low- and near-zero emission intensity thresholds for steel, cement and concrete as well as reporting practices. It may also involve research and policy analysis under other U.S.-involved CEM initiatives. Qualifications in this subject area are desired (see below).
A fellowship in IA will give you the opportunity to apply scientific, technical, and policy knowledge to the development and implementation of international climate and clean energy solutions as well as to continue your education and involvement in areas that support the DOE mission.
Successful fellows come from a wide range of backgrounds, but education, experience, and/or demonstrated interest in the following subject areas is desirable:
- Carbon accounting, environmental impact assessment, or product performance assessment, preferably with an analytic focus
- Steel, cement, and concrete production processes and understanding of major emissions sources in these processes
- Product life cycle assessments
- Product Category Rules and Environmental Product Declarations
- Reading and interpreting technical standards
- Data handling
Benefits: Participants will receive a stipend to be determined by IA. Stipends are typically based on the participant’s academic standing, discipline, experience, and research facility location. IA may authorize a supplemental stipend to offset the costs of health insurance. Participants are eligible to purchase health insurance plans offered through ORISE. Participants may receive an allowance for education and/or scientific activities as approved by IA.
The details: Located in Washington, D.C. You must be a U.S. Citizen with a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral Degree. If currently pursuing their degree, all degree requirements must be completed by July 31, 2024.
