The Provost’s Office is pleased to announce that Olga Lazareva, associate professor of psychology, has been appointed the 2019–2020 Troyer Research Fellow. Professor Lazareva plans to use the Fellowship to support the development of an automated cognitive testing system for socially housed zebra finches. This technology will provide her with an opportunity to collect comparative data on visual cognition in a passerine species, will expand research opportunities for undergraduate students, and will help her prepare a competitive grant application for National Science Foundation.

We congratulate Professor Olga Lazareva on her selection as a Troyer Research Fellow.

— Arthur Sanders, Associate Provost
