Dr. Lauren Ross, UMaine assistant professor of hydraulics and water resources engineering and Mitchell Center faculty fellow, was recently recognized with an Early Career Research Award by the UMaine College of Engineering, one of their top annual awards.
“[Lauren] Ross has reinvigorated the College of Engineering coastal engineering program through her research, making it nationally competitive and one of the leaders in the college in terms of number of master’s and Ph.D. students, journal publications and funding,” according to a news release on the award. “[She] also has established the Watershed Process and Estuary Sustainability Research Group, which seeks to develop science-based solutions to watershed and estuary management problems.”
Ross was also named a 2022-2024 Research Faculty Fellow by UMaine’s Center for Undergraduate Research (CUGR). These fellowships are designed to support faculty efforts toward improving undergraduate research mentoring skills, expanding curricula to include research and scholarship experiences, and developing proposals for additional funding, specifically for undergraduate students, according to a UMaine News article.
