The students represent various colleges and disciplines, studying a range of topics in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/nanotechnology-research-innovation\/\">nanotechnology<\/a> and mechanical and aerospace engineering that have the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/space\/\">advance space exploration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium awards two different types of fellowships in areas of space science and engineering. One award is a Dissertation and Thesis Improvement fellowship, which provides partial support of a student\u2019s thesis and doctoral dissertation beyond the existing project. The maximum award for the Dissertation and Thesis Improvement fellowship is $5,000 for projects with a duration of no longer than a year. The other award is a one-year master\u2019s fellowship, which includes a stipend of $10,000 for those pursuing a full-time master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>The Dissertation and Thesis Improvement Fellowship\u00a0recipients are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nanotechnology<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pavlo Kravchuk; Mentor: Assistant Prof. Ellen Kang<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balaashwin Babu \u201920<\/strong>; Mentor: Professor Sudipta Seal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Corey Kinney; Mentor: Professor Subith Vasu<\/li>\n<li>Jose Bobren-Diaz; Mentor: Professor Subith Vasu<\/li>\n<li><strong>Michael Tonarely \u201920<\/strong>;\u00a0Mentor: Assoc.

Professor\u00a0Kareem Ahmed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Dissertation and Thesis Improvement fellowship is offered in efforts to support students by providing supplemental funds that are not readily obtainable. These awards can be used to help sponsor travel to specialized facilities, laboratory supplies, software licenses and other necessary research materials for the duration of the fellowship program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Balaashwin\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Babu \u201920<\/strong>, who earned a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/biomedical-sciences-bs\/\">bachelor\u2019s in biomedical sciences<\/a> from UCF, says the award will help him continue his work centered on reducing oxidative stress in order to better treat space-related bone loss among astronauts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount of information and knowledge from our experiences in outer space can enhance our life here on\u00a0Earth,\u201d Babu says. \u201cI focused my proposal on astronauts, but bone loss is something quite prevalent even here on Earth. What we learn will likely help us here too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to apply for the fellowships, students must also have mentors and they were thrilled at this year\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a testament to the high-quality students we have at UCF, who are working on NASA-relevant\u00a0research;\u00a0these new awards would make a total of 15 students who received the FSGC fellowships from my group,\u201d says\u00a0Professor\u00a0Subith Vasu,\u00a0who mentors\u00a0awardees Cory Kinney and Jose\u00a0Bobren-Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Professor Ellen Kang\u00a0says she was excited to see what her\u00a0student\u00a0Pavlo Kravchuk\u00a0would accomplish next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very grateful to see how my student pushes his boundaries for achieving challenging goals. I look forward seeing what he accomplishes with this FSGC fellowship,\u201d Kang says.<\/p>\n<p>Master\u2019s\u00a0Fellowship\u00a0recipients are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Christopher Rehberg \u201920<\/strong>; Mentor: Professor Kawai Kwok<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jose Zapata \u201921<\/strong>; Mentor: Professor Jihua Gou<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perla Latorre-Suarez \u201921<\/strong>; Mentor Professor Seetha Raghavan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rachel Hytovick \u201920<\/strong>; Mentor: Professor Kareem Ahmed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The FSGC Master\u2019s fellowship is awarded to the best and brightest students, offering aid in their pursuit of\u00a0a\u00a0master\u2019s degree in space-related disciplines.

Applicants submit proposals\u00a0based on\u00a0research\u00a0they are actively working on\u00a0to be considered for a $10,000 stipend.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Zapata, who transferred into UCF to study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/mechanical-engineering-bsme\/\">mechanical engineering<\/a> in 2018, says the award will help him pursue his passion \u2014 making space operations safer for astronauts and eventually\u00a0everyday\u00a0people.<\/p>\n<p>His research focuses on adding a health monitoring system to wind turbines.\u00a0This system could ideally identify\u00a0hazards\u00a0before\u00a0they\u00a0become critical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaiting for something bad to happen isn\u2019t a good idea,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019d be really vital if we could inspect the whole shuttle or rocket and easily protect areas that are damaged,\u00a0instead of working on an entire system from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Engineering Professor Seetha Raghavan says all the recipients are working on research that will\u00a0impact\u00a0space-related technology.
