Fellowship Welcomes Five New Students for 2020
Graduate students from the University of Texas at Austin, Columbia University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Barbara comprise the third incoming class for the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA LRGF), joining the program this fall.
The fellowship connects laboratory scientists with professors and students working in fields relevant to stewardship of the nation’s nuclear stockpile, fostering collaborative research relationships. It strengthens these laboratory-university links through an unusual and exciting provision: Fellows work and study in residence at one or more of four approved DOE NNSA facilities for a minimum of two 12-week periods.
Members of the 2020-21 incoming fellowship cohort, their subject areas, universities and residency locations are:
|
Patricia Cho University of Texas at Austin Astronomy Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico Kevin Kwock Columbia University Electrical Engineering Los Alamos National Laboratory Logan Meredith University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Physics Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico |
John (Ryan) Peterson Stanford University Physics Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Ashley Roach University of California, Santa Barbara Materials Los Alamos National Laboratory |
The fellowship provides excellent financial benefits and professional development opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in fields of study that address complex science and engineering problems critical to stewardship science.
Program guidelines encourage laboratory stays beyond the minimum two visits, up to or including pursuit of thesis studies at a chosen site. This residency requirement opens compelling research opportunities to students and their advisors, including access to unique DOE NNSA experimental and computing facilities.
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration supports the fellowship to train scientists vital to meeting U.S. workforce needs in advanced science and engineering.
Additional details for each fellow will be available via the program's online directory on or after September 1, 2020. Meanwhile, please contact us for further information.
