Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Qualifications: As a Ph.D. student in Experimental Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the competitive federal fellowship landscape. I have successfully secured funding from the nation’s most rigorous STEM programs, demonstrating a proven ability to communicate complex research to diverse review panels across the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Defense (DOD). Strategic Success Across Federal Agencies: My expertise is built on a track record of high-level scholarship and successful application strategies: - NNSA Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (SSGF): I currently hold this fellowship, which supports my doctoral research in stewardship science and includes a 12-week practicum at an NNSA laboratory. - NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP): I was awarded the NSF GRFP in 2025 and subsequently declined it to accept the NNSA SSGF, providing me with unique insight into the differing priorities of these two major funding bodies. - DOD SMART Scholarship: I have navigated the specific requirements of the Department of Defense’s premier scholarship-for-service program. - Glenn T. Seaborg Graduate Research Fellow: I was one of 8–10 candidates nationwide selected by Los Alamos National Laboratory to conduct research in actinide science and radiochemistry.
