UMD Students Receive 2018 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships
Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) students Zackery Benson, Sabrina Curtis and Alan Kaplan – all advised by MSE Professor Marina Leite – received fellowship awards from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP) Program for the 2018/19 academic year. Honorable mentions were given to Natalie Schwab, also advised by Dr. Leite, and Aristotelis Zografos, advised by ChBE Professor and Chair, Peter Kofinas. As stated on the NSF website, GRF Program “helps to ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science and engineering in the United States and reinforces its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.” Zackery Benson obtained his award by combining his commitment to research and society. The first two years of his PhD program focused on excelling in class, advancing his research project and working with students from Eleanor Roosevelt high school. He has published a few papers, presented the results at a conference, and mentored a high school student that is now an undergrad at UMD.
