Record PSFC HEDP Student Cohort Present at Prestigious NNSA Fellowship Program Review

Each Fellowship recipient will take part in at least one 12-week practicum at a DOE NNSA laboratory, an experience that offers students insight into how their scientific interests can translate to research areas of national importance. Practicums typically take place during the summer, and Dannhoff and Cufari are currently at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for theirs. Next summer, Audrey DeVault also plans to do her practicum at LLNL, while Foo will reside at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Kunimune, newly graduated, and Reichelt, expected to graduate in September, have been exemplary PSFC students. As their Fellowships conclude, both are set to begin exciting new chapters in their careers.

Johan Frenje, the head of the HEDP Division, said that “Having six Fellows [from one group] simultaneously has never happened before in the history of the NNSA’s Fellowship Program. I’m incredibly proud of them for their excellent work.”
