Global Visiting Scholars

Our global visiting scholars, Dr. Svetlana Cociu and Kelli Kulikova, traveled from Moldova and Armenia to visit us at the University of Iowa. We partner with these scholars, along with other colleagues, on the project called Increasing Capacity for Injury Research in Eastern Europe (iCREATE). Dr. Svetlana Cociu and Kelli Kulikova presented their current research efforts at The Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR), along with a presentation at the University of Iowa's College of Public Health. During their visit, the entire TRIPS Lab joined in on the sightseeing fun and toured the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI), along with The Hank Virtual Environments Lab.
