APMS Ph.D. student Maria Bolar is one of the first two NAU students to receive the prestigious Science Graduate Student Research Award from the Dept. of Energy. Maria and her fellow award recipient, Megan Foley from Biological Sciences, are two of the 65 students nationwide that received the award. NAU is one of 47 nationwide universities and the only Arizona university to receive the award. The award will enable her to spend several months performing neutron scattering experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to characterize the polymer electrolytes she has developed here at NAU.
