Graduate Education: Student Awards

2004: The University Research Association's Award for the best PhD Thesis at Fermilab this year (among about 50 PhDs per year) was won by a UR Physics PhD student. This is the third time (out of seven occasions) that one of our students has received this honor.

Maria Florencia Canelli (top left and also in the center of the photograph on the right) received her PhD from the University of Rochester in 2003 for research on the DZero experiment with Professor Tom Ferbel. Dr. Canelli's award was presented by Fred Bernthal, President of the University Research Association, at the Fermilab User's Meeting on June 3, 2004.
