The fellowships, which provide a three-year annual stipend of $34,000, along with a $12,000 cost of education allowance, are awarded to outstanding students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields who are pursuing research-based graduate degrees.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiya Haile\u003C\/strong\u003E is a mechanical engineering senior who will graduate this summer. He will remain at Georgia Tech this fall as he begins his Ph.D. studies in ECE with Professor Oliver Brand as his advisor. As an undergraduate, Haile conducted research with Brand in the area of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJustin Ting\u003C\/strong\u003E graduated with his B.S.E.E. degree and a computer science minor in fall 2020. He plans to start pursuing his Ph.D. this fall at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. While at Georgia Tech, Ting worked in the Integrated Circuits and Systems Research Lab on a project focused on robotic motion controlled by neural networks.
