Emily Prigmore and Charles Johnson Named IDeA Labs Scholars

August 29, 2016

With the begining of a new semester, a new set of IDeA Labs Scholars were named. This semester, Emily Prigmore (Computer Science ‘18) and Charles Johnson (Math ‘18) both received the award. The IDeA Labs scholarship is a full tuition scholarship given to undergraduates who have demonstrated an exceptional propensity for research and are role models to their peers.

Emily has interests in marine biology and ecology, and, as a computer scientist, she is exploring ways to model population dynamics for different ecosystems. Charles is interested in dynamic systems and scientific computing and has been a strong contributor to the project, “Mission Impact Situational Awareness Tool for Distributed Operations Management of Cyber-Physical-Human Critical Infrastructures”. This project, funded by the Department of Homeland Security, develops a method for assesing systemic risk in large distribtued systems.
