SSGF Welcomes 2016-2017 Fellow Class of Seven
Recognizing an ever-increasing demand for scientists highly trained in areas of interest to stewardship science, the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration founded the Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA SSGF) in 2006. Fellowships are granted annually and fund the education of doctoral students whose course of study involves high-energy density physics, nuclear science, or materials under extreme conditions and hydrodynamics.
Seven awardees have been named for what will be the fellowship's 11th (2016-2017) academic year:
|
Cody Dennett Massachusetts Institute of Technology Nuclear Material Science Erin Good Louisiana State University Nuclear Physics Aaron (Miguel) Holgado University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Astrophysics Benjamin Musci Georgia Institute of Technology Thermal and Fluid Sciences |
Viktor Rozsa University of Chicago Molecular Engineering Heather Sandefur University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Engineering Daniel Woodbury University of Maryland, College Park Physics |
As part of the program, these individuals will receive exceptional benefits including a yearly stipend, full payment of university tuition and required fees (during the appointment period), and an annual academic allowance. Renewable up to four years, the fellowship experience also includes a three-month practicum at one of four DOE national defense laboratory sites.
Additional details for each fellow will be available via the program's online fellow directory on or after September 1, 2016. Meanwhile, please contact us for further information.
