Congratulations to George Padilla for being awarded a 2024 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. This fellowship provides students with a three-year annual stipend, allowance for tuition and fees and professional development opportunities. Past fellows include numerous Nobel Prize winners, a former U.S. Secretary of Energy and the founder of Google.
“The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship allows me the opportunity to freely explore my research interests as I look toward pursuing a Ph.D.,” said Padilla. “I am extremely grateful to have been awarded this fellowship, and greatly appreciate the support and guidance I received from my professor and principal investigator Julia Dshemuchadse, the CAPE CryStAL research group, friends, and the Cornell MSE community.” Padilla is a member of the CAPE CryStAL research group, which studies the self-assembly and stability of complex crystal structures via computer simulations.
We also congratulate James Tallman ’23 and Ph.D. student Jonathan Palumbo on receiving NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Honorable mentions.
