May 24, 2013


Arnab Kar, a graduate student working with Professor Rajeev in the area of theoretical high-energy physics, was awarded the University Messersmith Fellowship for 2013-2014. Arnab chose as his area of research, the study of renormalization, which is perhaps one of the most treacherous and intricate puzzles in physics.  The Messersmith Fellowship is an award given to students in Biology, Chemistry, Optics, Physics or the preclinical departments of the School of Medicine and Dentistry. The fellowship is designed to provide stipend support for outstanding students who are in the process of writing their dissertations. Congratulations Arnab!
