Other Senior Investigators

Brian Bontempo of Mountain Measurement is assisting in the survey design and analysis of results for the panel study aspect of the project. He is assisted by Daniel Lerch, a staff member at MM.

Debi Elliott of the Survey Research Laboratory, Portland State University is overseeing the implementation of the survey instruments.

Larry Kalkstein of the University of Delaware will provide expertise and insight into health advisory systems and policy options. He will assess the state of health warning systems, the range of actions resulting from such systems, and will develop suitable test scenarios.

Students and Alumni

Brian Hays was an undergraduate student supported by an REU supplement. He gathered and analyzed transportation data in support of this project during 2005.

Shem Heiple is a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering who is working with Dr. Sailor on refining our anthropogenic heating profile generation algorithms.

Prasanna Krishrasamy is a graduate student working with Dr. Semenza to develop and implement survey tools for assessing human activity response to adverse air quality, heat, and associated advisories.

Jason Mooney was an undergraduate student supported by an REU supplement. He worked on aspects of instrumentation for urban heat island measurements and established a high accuracy automated car-mounted traverse system.

Jeremy Parra is a doctoral student in ESR/Physics. He will assist Dr. George in establishing the upgrades to the Horizons network and in developing/implementing the educational outreach activities. His scientific research agenda is to develop a semi-empirical model of Portland air quality using the high density of chemical and meteorological measurements from the Horizons network in conjunction with the ever-expanding suite of ground level measurements available from satellites.

Brian Rees is a masters student in the Center for Science Education working with Dr. George. He will assist with upgrading the Horizons network and in developing/implementing the summer and academic year educational outreach activities for high school teachers and students.
