Announcements:

Nathan Parker has been chosen as the Outstanding Student of the Year for the UC Davis Sustainable Transportation Center for 2009. Nathan is a Ph.D. student in the Transportation Technology and Policy program and specializes in assessing the potential for greater use of biofuels in California and nation-wide. The STC awards this honor in recognition of his excellent performance in the classroom, his innovative and independent research program, and his demonstrated leadership potential.

As Prof. Joan Ogden said in her nomination letter, “Nathan has demonstrated excellence in all the criteria for the STC Student of the Year award: academic achievements, research excellence, and leadership and professionalism… I am confident that he will one day lead a group of researchers helping solve our nation’s transportation and energy problems.”

The award comes with a $1,000 prize and complimentary attendance at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting in Washington DC in January. There, Nathan will be honored along with honorees from the other University Transportation Centers at the 19th Annual
Outstanding Student of the Year Awards ceremony.
