Clemson Students Win NSF Awards Six Clemson students have been awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) graduate research fellowships for 1999-2000. The six recipients (and two honorable mentions) represent Clemson's best showing in NSF competition in several years. NSF graduate research fellowships are three-year awards given for graduate study leading to research-based master's or doctoral degrees in the fields of mathematics, science and engineering. The annual stipend is $15,000. All six Clemson winners are current or past members of Clemson's honors program. Mary Virginia Armfield is from Cullowhee, N.C. She graduated this May with departmental honors in mechanical engineering. She will remain at Clemson for graduate study. Professor Donald Beasley served as Mary's honors research adviser. Derek William Austin is an electrical engineering major from Oak Ridge, Tenn. He plans to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee/Knoxville. Professors John Gowdy and Michael Pursley supervised Derek's undergraduate research. Samuel Todd Bailie is from Lexington, S.C. In May 1998 he graduated with departmental honors in mechanical engineering. This fall he will attend graduate school at Virginia Polytechnical Institute. Todd's honors research was directed by Professor James Leylek. Shana Paige Bunker graduated in May 1998 with departmental honors in chemical engineering. She is from Debary, Fla., and will attend graduate school at the University of Delaware. Her honors research was supervised by Professor Dan Edie. Karen Elizabeth Mabry, from Pauline, S.C., is a member of the Dixon Fellows program. She graduated in May with departmental honors in biological sciences and will attend graduate school at the University of Washington. Professor James Schindler directed Karen's honors research. William David York graduated in December 1998 with departmental honors in mechanical engineering. He is from Tallahassee, Fla., and is staying at Clemson for graduate study. Will's honors research was supervised by Professor James Leylek. Two NSF honorable mentions, Derek Paul Columbus and Marcus Ring, are eligible to use the computing resources at any Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure facility. Congratulations to these students for their outstanding achievements, and many thanks to the faculty who helped them along the way. |
