Thomas Callaghan Wins Goldwater Scholarship
Thomas Callaghan, an Applied Mathematics major,
has been awarded a Goldwater Fellowship.
He, and Mark Oliver, a MSE major, are two GT Juniors to
receive the award this year. They are in fact roommates!
This is a federally supported fellowship, in honor of Senator Barry Goldwater to promote the
interests of the next generation of scientists and engineers.
It is awarded to rising juniors or seniors. And provides
fellowship support for one year. Thomas especially thanks Professors
Mucha and Porter for their support during his REU project on Football
Rankings. All three are in the picture, at the Georgia Tech Football Stadium.
There were 22 awards in the area of mathematics nationally.
And this is the fourth national fellowship award to go to a GT
Math undergraduate this year.
Congratulations to both! --Michael Lacey
