PSA 2019 Student Paper Recognition

 

Eleven student authors presented papers during PSA 2019 sessions, as noted in the table below. Based on evaluation of the papers and their presentations, the Technical Program Committee is pleased to announce the following results:

 

  • Top Student Paper: Ms. Sara Lyons (University of Maryland)
  • First Runner-Up (Two Papers): Ms. Yinan Cai (MIT) and Mr. Jong Woo Park (UNIST)
  • Second Runner-Up: Claudia Picoco (Ohio State University). *

We congratulate all the student authors and appreciate their contribution to the PSA 2019 conference.  The TPC wishes each student have a long and interesting career in their chosen fields, and we hope that many will continue to be technical leaders in probabilistic safety assessment and analysis, risk and reliability applications, and related areas.
