Undergraduate BME student, Philip Vu (who worked with Richelle Thomas before she defended in December), was recently awarded a highly prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. The NSF received over 14,000 applications for the 2014 competition, and only made 2,000 fellowship award offers.
A total of four BME students at UF were selected for the NSF Graduate Fellowship Award. With these recent awards, the University of Florida ranks in 8th place nationwide for NSF fellowships within BME departments.
Congratulations to Philip on this amazing achievement!
