UC President's Dissertation Year Fellowship

I am excited to report that I have been selected as one of the UC San Diego students to receive the UC President’s Dissertation Year Fellowship for demonstrating strong potential for university teaching and research. This was very unexpected for me, and great news as I prepare to defend my thesis.

Part of the application process was to write a two-page thesis synopsis for non-scientist readers. The synopsis is included here for the curious reader. Feel free to comment or email me with questions.
