Shubhendu Bhardwaj Receives Presidential Fellowship

Shubhendu Bhardwaj, a Ph.D. candidate at the ElectroScience Laboratory, receives the Presidential Fellowship in Spring 2016. The Fellowship is a prestigious award given by the Graduate School at OSU that recognizes the outstanding scholarly accomplishments and potential of graduate students entering the final phase of their dissertation research or terminal degree project. Shubhendu is advised by Professor John Volakis  and his research areas include EM and Multi-physical (EM-hydrodynamic) modeling, HEMT modeling for terahertz operation, and novel measurement methods for mm-wave/terahertz. He is scheduled to give a talk on the "Accurate Low Cost Phaseless Measurement Method of CP Antennas at Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Bands" and "Analytical and Multiphysial-Numerical Models for Plasma-Waves in double and Multiple Channel HEMTs" at the upcoming 2016 APS/URSI Meeting on Thursday, July 28, 2016 in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Students cannot apply directly for these fellowships. Nominations are made and submitted by graduate studies committee chairs. To be eligible, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.6 for all Ohio State graduate course work, have completed all degree course work by the time the fellowship is activated, and have passed the candidacy examination (doctoral students) by the nomination deadline.
