Congratulations to doctoral candidate Brook Jeang for being awarded the Rose Hill Foundation Science & Engineering Fellowship, administered by the UCI Graduate Division. This is the third year in a row that Brook has received this fellowship, which recognizes and rewards UCI’s most meritorious graduate students who are pursuing a degree in the life or natural sciences, or engineering.
Brook is pursuing her PhD degree in Public Health, with a concentration in Global Health, under the mentorship of Guiyun Yan, PhD, professor of population health and disease prevention and Veronica Vieira, DSc, professor of environmental and occupational health.
