Adding to his haul of awards and accolades, Dispersive Hydrodynamics Lab (DHL) member and Applied Mathematics/Engineering Physics double major Max Ruth received two additional awards: the University of Colorado, Boulder’s Outstanding Graduate for Research Award and the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship. Max, nominated for the Outstanding Graduate for Research Award by the Department of Applied Mathematics for his research on nonlinear dynamics in magnetic materials while a DHL member, was chosen over nominees from every other College of Engineering department. The award will be officially announced at University commencement on May 10, 2018.
Following a national competition of more than 12,000 applicants from every corner of the U.S., Max was chosen as one of 2000 awardees for NSF’s competitive Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP). As noted by the NSF, “the program recruits high-potential, early-career scientists and engineers and supports their graduate research training in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.” The GRFP provides three years of financial support to attend a graduate school of the awardees choosing. Max will be pursuing a PhD in applied mathematics at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY starting this fall. Congratulations Max! May your professional success continue.
