Congratulations to Katy Sharpe who has been awarded a prestigious Harward Fellow by the University Honors Program. This award is given to a small number of Honors Degree with Distinction candidates each year based on their academic accomplishments. Only seven such fellowships were awarded this year. The award includes a $500 prize and recognition at the Honors Day Ceremony. The fellowship permits Ms. Sharpe to continue her honors thesis, entitled "Mathematical Modeling of Self-Assembly" full-time over the winter. Ms. Sharpe's thesis explores mathematical models of simple self-assembling systems. Her work involves theory and experiments performed in the MEC Lab, and is supervised by Prof. Pelesko.
