A message from Anne, “I am proud and honored to be a part of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. This would not have been possible without the help and support of my advisor, Dr. Alexandrescu and the opportunities presented to me throughout my educational journey. Thank you to all those who made this happen!”
