IRG 2024 Scholarship Winners
IRG 2024 Scholarship Winners
We are excited to announce our Tim Bolgeo Memorial scholarship winner of 2024, Sadie Cullings. Congratulations Sadie!
‘I am honored to have been selected for the scholarship and I am extremely grateful to IRG and your sponsors, Baen Books and Rob and Ruann Hampson, for this amazing opportunity! I am looking forward to continuing to support interstellar research and discoveries and helping to unravel some of the biggest questions like the nature of reality, whether wormholes exist, or whether life exists elsewhere in space. I plan to do this by both pursuing research in space exploration and encouraging others to do the same by explaining the importance of space exploration and research and advancing space capabilities beyond “this pale blue dot.” – Sadie Cullings
We are excited to announce our Ph.D scholarship winner of 2024, Sarah Lamm. Congratulations Sarah!
Sarah Lamm is currently a Geology PhD candidate at the University of Kansas, focusing her research on analyzing analog materials using Raman spectroscopy with application to Mars and Ocean Worlds. Lamm obtained her master’s degree from Kansas State University in 2021. During that time, she worked on developing a chemical calibration for chlorite minerals using Raman Spectroscopy, which also has implications for Mars research. During her PhD and M.S. she also interned at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Origins and Habitability Lab in both the summers of 2021 and 2022. In 2018, she graduated from Kansas State University, with three bachelors degrees in Chemistry, Geology, and Geography. Throughout her undergraduate years, she was a member on ChemCam Instrument Team on the Mars Curiosity Rover and spent three summers at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
