Awards

Summer Undergraduate Research Experience

May 2011

The SURE fellowship program is funded by the West Virginia Research Challenge Fund that is

administered by the WV Higher Education Policy Commission, Division of Science and Research.

My project consisted of examining fossilized soils (paleosols) from the prospective of engineering and

geologic properties in attempt to cross correlate between the two separate, but distinct, professions.

NASA Space Grant Student Fellowship

August 2011

The NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium (WVSGC) includes five West Virginia Universities

and seven West Virginia Colleges. West Virginia University is the lead institution.

I was awarded this fellowship to further fund my independent research with fossilized soils through the

Marshall University Chapter of Sigma Xi.
