Collin Brehmer and Blythe Johnston, M.S. Students in the Department, were both awarded the prestigious and highly competitive National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF). Collin is working with Dr. Ellison Carter on her HEI-funded Beijing-based project and Blythe Johnston’s research focuses on finding techniques for data integration that preserve the integrity of data from diverse disciplines working with Dr. John van de Lindt.
As the oldest graduate fellowship of its kind, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program was developed to promote diversity in science and engineering in the United States.
Since 1952, the NSF has funded more than 50,000 Graduate Research Fellowships, with 42 fellows going on to become Nobel laureates and more than 450 becoming members of the National Academy of Sciences.
