“Georgia Tech Students and Alumni Awarded Prestigious NSF Fellowships Superadmin Thu, 05/21/2026 - 15:27 Seventy-five Georgia Tech students and alumni have been awarded Graduate Research Fellowships (GRF) from the National Science Foundation. The fellowships, valued at $159,000, include funding for three years of graduate study and tuition for graduate students pursuing full-time, research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or STEM education. The Yellow Jacket recipients of the fellowship, which has supported over 70,000 students since its inception in 1952, were selected from a pool of more than 14,000 applicants nationwide. Fellowships are awarded to students “who have demonstrated potential for significant achievements in research.” Alumni: Sophia Nicolette Anderson – Materials Science and Engineering Aleksandar Blaine Boskovic – Biomedical Engineering Sasha Bronovitskiy – Bioengineering Joshua Brown – Chemical Engineering Mariah Castillo – Chemical Catalysis Brandon Choi – Physics and Astronomy - Artificial Intelligence Lincoln Crowe – Materials Science and Engineering Saachi Gautam Dalvi – Chemical Engineering Ethan Damiani – Mechanical Engineering Mehul Dhoot – Materials Science and Engineering Keyes Matthews Eames – Materials Research - Photonic Materials Brice Bradley Edelman – Comp/IS/Eng - Artificial Intelligence Hebah Faddl Fadah – Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering Matthew Fernandez – Mechanical Engineering Gianna Fiduccia – Chemical Engineering Marielle Frooman – Chemistry – Chemical Synthesis Haasa Gaddipati – Materials Research – Electronic Materials Kush Gandhi – Physics and Astronomy - Quantum Information Science Diya Godavarti – Chemical Engineering Risha Goel – Chemical Engineering Abigail Holberton – Bioengineering Sara Hunihan – Biomedical Engineering Divya Iyer – Materials Research - Chemistry of Materials Shreya Jha – Comp/IS/Eng - Scientific Computing Janie Johnson – Mechanical Engineering Sara Mishal Kapasi – Bioengineering Grace Chaeyeong Kim – Comp/IS/Eng - Machine Learning Andrea Li – Bioengineering Lauren Rose Mellinger – Chemical Engineering Elizabeth Mone – Physics and Astronomy - Astronomy and Astrophysics Akash Narayanan – Mathematical Sciences – Topology Thomas Neuman – Biomedical Engineering Anna Park – Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Viresh Chandra Pati – Comp/IS/Eng - Formal Methods, Verification, and Programming Languages Matthew Rohan – Materials Research - Chemistry of Materials Aanya Sawhney – Mechanical Engineering Austin Clark Shoemaker – Materials Research - Chemistry of Materials Aastha Singh – Mechanical Engineering Isaac Sipp-Alpers – Geosciences – Paleoceanography Anirudh Sriram – Biomedical Engineering Nicholas Stojanovic – Engineering - Materials Science and Engineering Elijah Orion Tarr – Comp/IS/Eng - Quantum Information Science Skylar Taylor – Life Sciences – Organismal Biology Olivia Trask – Chemical Engineering Tarun Vinodkumar – Mechanical Engineering Alexander Vlasov – Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Connor Douglas White – Electrical and Electronic Engineering Graduate Students: Avi Balakirsky – Engineering - Robotics, Control, Automation Aidan Hahn Billings – Mechanical Engineering Sierra Paige Bornheim – Life Sciences Alison Lynne Brei – Engineering - Robotics, Control, Automation Bertila Bruka – Biomedical Engineering Adam Casselman – Engineering - Robotics, Control, Automation Vanessa Chen – Engineering - Materials Science and Engineering Jason Chin – Bioengineering Emmett Freeman – Mechanical Engineering Abir Haque – Comp/IS/Eng - Scientific Computing Cameron Hubbard – Chemical Engineering Sophia Ella Klessel – Biomedical Engineering Frederick Laudati – Comp/IS/Eng - Electronic Design Automation and Design of Micro and Nano Computing Dara Oseyemi – Engineering - Computer Engineering Payal Patel – Engineering - Robotics, Control, Automation Zahria Patrick – Chemistry – Chemical Synthesis Ioannis Polyzos – Engineering - Robotics, Control, Automation Sadah Schell – Chemical Engineering Rachel Schenck – Materials Science and Engineering Brendan Michael Shrader – Mathematical Sciences - Mathematical Biology Julian Skifstad – Engineering - Machine Learning Gary Song – Comp/IS/Eng - Computer Security and Privacy Ian Tidwell – Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering Sonika Vuyyuru – Comp/IS/Eng - Machine Learning Kaleb Washington – Mechanical Engineering Louisa Wood – Engineering - Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering Yufei Xiao – Physics and Astronomy - Physics of Living Systems Jennifer Xiao – Materials Research - Artificial Intelligence Subtitle The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship supports “outstanding students with exceptional potential for leadership in STEM.” Summary sentence The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship supports “outstanding students with exceptional potential for leadership in STEM.” Summary The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship supports “outstanding students with exceptional potential for leadership in STEM.” Dateline Thu, 05/21/2026 - 12:00 Contact Steven Gagliano Institute Communications Related links QBioS Students Win 2026 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Awards Associated importer 1 Keywords NSF graduate fellowship News room topics Campus and Community Categories Student Honors and Achievements Mercury ID 690432 Source updated Thu, 05/21/2026 - 15:25
