Griffin Glenn awarded Department of Energy Graduate Fellowship

Griffin Glenn, a doctoral student in Applied Physics, has been awarded a Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA SSGF) to support his research. Glenn, from League City, Texas, is in Siegfried Glenzer’s research group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and is one of five first-year fellows in 2020. Only about 5 percent of applicants are chosen to receive the fellowship each year. The DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration created and supports the program and the Krell Institute of Ames, Iowa, oversees it. Including the incoming class, the fellowship has supported 78 students at 34 universities since it was first awarded in 2006. Fellowships are granted annually and support doctoral students researching areas of interest to stewardship science, including high energy density physics, nuclear science, and materials under extreme conditions and hydrodynamics.
