"Congratulations to Whitney Webre, PhD student under Dr. Francis D'Souza. Whitney has been selected by the NSF to participate in the 2016 EAPSI Fellowship in Japan. This award through the NSF provides graduate students in sciences the opportunity to gain first-hand research experience, an introduction to science and science infrastructure, and an orientation to the society, culture, and language of their host country. This summer, Whitney will travel to Japan to participate in a research project under the direction of Dr. Jon Hill at the National Institute of Materials Research, Tsukuba, Japan. The award also includes financial support for travel, living expenses, and a stipend.

Awesome job, Whitney!"
