Congratulations to Jen, who was selected as an Outstanding Graduate Student in the Steve Sanghi College of Engineering (SCE) for Fall 2025. SCE Dean Charles Chadwell summarized Jen’s exceptional accomplishments: “You were awarded the highly selective NASA FINESST fellowship to support your work, and you independently secured approximately $35,000 in funding to organize and lead an international workshop at Hat Ranch, bringing together 40 participants from 10 countries. The outcomes of this workshop were featured in AGU’s EOS news magazine, underscoring the impact of your efforts. Your scholarly contributions are already impressive, with your first paper published in Environmental Research Letters and a coauthored article in PNAS. You have also shared your research widely through oral presentations at venues such as the Flagstaff Gravity Lab, the 2024 AmeriFlux Meeting at UC Berkeley, Universidad de Sonora, the AGU Fall Meeting in Washington, DC, and the University of Plymouth in the UK. Your ability to secure funding, publish in top journals, and present internationally highlights your leadership, initiative, and the global relevance of your work.”
Great job, Jen!
