Our graduate student Stephen Rong has received a 2016 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, which will fund him for up to three years during his graduate work. Stephen won this amidst very stiff competition, which is detailed in the NSF press release. He is the third Computational Biology graduate student to receive an NSF graduate fellowship, following in the footsteps of Raphael Lab members Max Leiserson and Ashley Conard. Congratulations, Stephen!
