Five WVU students named prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellows

Monday, April 22, 2024

Five WVU students have been named National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellows. They are (clockwise from top left) Austin Braniff, Kara Cunningham, Megan Weaver, Ashley Martsen-Poulin and Courtney Glenn. (WVU Graphic)

Five West Virginia University students have joined an elite group of researchers who’ve been awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a program aimed at supporting graduate education in STEM-based fields.

This year’s winners are Austin Braniff, of Mineral Wells; Kara Cunningham, of Poca; Courtney Glenn, of Semmes, Alabama; Ashley Martsen-Poulin, of Otis, Massachusetts; and Megan Weaver, of Morgantown.

All five students are actively or will be pursuing research-based master’s or doctoral degrees.

Fellows are provided professional development opportunities, in addition to a three-year annual stipend of $37,000 and a $16,000 education allowance for tuition. The NSF states the purpose of the fellowship program is to help ensure the quality, vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States.

Austin Braniff — Safer, smarter systems for chemicals and energy According to Austin Braniff, “intelligently handling the complexities of industrial systems for processing and producing chemicals and energy can lead to improvements in areas like efficiency, sustainability and safety.”

Braniff studies the design, optimization and control of chemical and energy systems with his advisor, assistant professor Yuhe Tian . His NSF fellowship will enable research that “holds the promise of preventing safety incidents in the chemicals industry, while making energy production more sustainable.”

He’ll conduct that research in the chemical engineering graduate program of the WVU Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources . As a WVU undergraduate in the same department, Braniff served as an ambassador for the West Virginia Science Public Outreach Team and he said communicating STEM topics to youth is still a priority.

“This provides an opportunity to create materials that introduce K-12 students to advanced computing techniques. I want to inspire other first-generation STEM students to believe they can prosper in higher education.”

Kara Cunningham — Keeping tap water trustworthy Kara Cunningham remembers being 14 years old in Poca and living through the water crisis of 2014.

“I was unable to drink, shower or cook with the tap water in my home or go to school for over a week,” she said. “It’s one of the driving factors that led me to pursue an environmental engineering degree to provide solutions for water treatment and to advocate for clean drinking water for all. As a first-generation student working in a male-dominant field, I’m ecstatic to receive the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship for my research on drinking water treatment.”

Cunningham is now enrolled in a direct PhD program in the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering . Her undergraduate degree is also from WVU — she graduated with her bachelor’s degree in civil and environmental engineering in 2022, the same year she founded the WVU student chapter of the American Water Works Association , of which she is still president.

Cunningham’s work is focused on giving the water industry a better understanding of “ozone-biofiltration” drinking water treatment.

“Oz one biofiltration uses ozone gas and microorganisms to filter contaminants out of water. It can provide the public with quality drinking water, using less energy and fewer chemicals than other advanced water treatment systems,” she said.

“Declining water quality is a global issue, so it’s imperative for water utilities to implement advanced water treatment technologies to meet safety standards. This is why advancing the science of water treatment is my passion.”  

Courtney Glenn — A chemical reaction After earning her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of South Alabama, Courtney Glenn knew the next logical step was WVU. It was the only place, she said, that encouraged her to pursue independent research in two of her top fields of interest — organic chemistry and chemical education.

Since arriving, she’s worked on two projects, one being part of assistant professor Margaret Hilton’s research group in the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences . Hilton’s team focuses on providing an innovative, streamlined approach to organic synthesis and drug discovery, which could improve human health among the general population.

Glenn is also a member of assistant professor Oluwatobi Odeleye’s chemical education research group, which studies how students learn and perceive chemistry. Glenn has co-authored a paper with Odeleye that highlights factors that influence perception of chemistry.

“The results showed the course structure and course instructor were the two most influential factors affecting students’ perception towards chemistry,” Glenn said. “The research is meant to assist instructors in developing their teaching pedagogy and course structure, which could ultimately increase the number of students pursuing chemistry as a career.”

Glenn, who earned a Ruby Scholars Graduate Fellowship in 2022, has her sights set on becoming a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution.

“ I have a passion for teaching and I love introducing undergraduate students to chemistry concepts and how they apply to real-world settings,” she said. “I give credit to my fabulous instructors in general chemistry for sparking my interest, and I want to do the same for my future students. As a first-generation student and a female in chemistry, I also want to initiate outreach opportunities teaching the youth and underrepresented groups in my community about chemistry to broaden representation within the discipline.”

Ashley Martsen-Poulin — The sky’s the limit Ashley Martsen-Poulin spends her time looking for variations in the shape of pulses seen from pulsars, which are magnetized rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation.

Those endeavors aided in a cosmic breakthrough showing evidence of low-frequency gravitational waves in 2023 . That result emerged from 15 years of data acquired by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves, or NANOGrav, of which Martsen-Poulin is a member.

“The impact of the research is the furthering of human knowledge and pushing the boundaries of what we understand about the most extreme objects in our universe,” she said.

Martsen-Poulin never envisioned herself pursuing a PhD. After completing homeschooling, she got a job as a cashier at 17. But when she saw a co-worker do chemistry homework during shifts, inspiration hit her.

She would earn her undergraduate degree at Rochester Institute of Technology in physics while minoring in astronomy, math, English and Italian. She wanted to continue studying pulsars so she came to the WVU Eberly College to work with Maura McLaughlin , an international leader in pulsar astronomy who is credited as one of the discoverers of fast radio bursts.

“She (McLaughlin) guides me on my scientific research and professional development for the field of astrophysics,” Martsen-Poulin said. “But also she’s a supportive person who values my mental and physical health and is always encouraging me to prioritize a healthy balance between my personal life and professional life.”

After completing her doctorate, Martsen-Poulin, also a Ruby Scholars Graduate Fellow, wants to continue working with NANOGrav on pulsar astronomy and pursue a career either in academia or at a radio observatory.

Megan Weaver — Engineering elite shoes for the common foot Megan Weaver said she believes carbon fiber shoes can help people stand and walk more comfortably.

“Currently, carbon fiber is mainly used in running shoes and is shown to reduce energy expenditure by 4% in elite marathon runners due to its capacity to store and return energy. I believe there is a huge potential in this field waiting to be explored,” Weaver said.

“I want to create shoes that allow people to be comfortable and walk faster with less energy expenditure. Carbon fiber holds the potential to increase mobility for the general population by enabling them to walk longer and faster.”

The shoe fits — Weaver was a member of the cross country and track and field teams at WVU.

From Morgantown, Weaver will graduate from WVU in May with her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering and will pursue a biomedical engineering doctorate in a PhD program run jointly by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University.

She’ll try to understand how carbon fiber modifies bones and joints as people walk. The NSF funding will support a study in which subjects will walk through a continuous X-ray machine that captures and analyzes the movements of their bones. That will teach Weaver how carbon fiber modifies the foot and how stacking or thinning certain areas of carbon fiber could affect an insole.

During the application process for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the recipients received support from the WVU ASPIRE Office , which assists students applying for nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships.

Second chances: Graduate student receives NSF research fellowship

Sonja Sargent Sparks started life over again in her thirties, and her renewal has led to success as the recipient of a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

The highly competitive fellowship award, one of 2,000 given nationwide, will provide three years of financial support for Sargent Sparks, a PhD student in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.

Sargent Sparks was living in Tacoma when she decided to enroll in Bates Technical College to learn about 3D printing and CAD modeling. Although she had little math background, she soon became interested in engineering and decided to pursue a mechanical engineering degree, eventually transferring to and then graduating from WSU.

“I chose WSU Pullman because I heard that it was a positive and collaborative atmosphere, and that has since proven to be true,” she said. “Additionally, I had heard about research opportunities in Pullman and wanted to try out research. It turns out — I really enjoy research, so I decided to stay and pursue my PhD in mechanical engineering under my advisor, Dr. Kaiyan Qiu.”

Qiu, Berry Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, is working to design, fabricate, test, and optimize a flexible 3D-printed biomimetic sharkskin. The researchers hope that the materials they develop will reduce drag in the water with possible applications in underwater vehicles, robots, and swimsuits.

Studied since the 1980s, shark skins are covered with thousands of small, tooth-like structures called denticles that reduce drag, save energy, and allow sharks to swim quickly and efficiently. Because of their tightly packed arrangement, the denticles also serve to fight off microbial infections.

In trying to develop an artificial sharkskin with similar properties, the researchers are working to understand the optimal arrangement, size, spacing, thickness, and height for the imitation denticles. The researchers are using both experimental and simulation methods to try to optimize a biomimetic sharkskin.

“Our final goal is to optimize the biomimetic surface and reduce the drag for different underwater applications,” said Qiu.

As she is continuing her studies as a graduate student and now as the recipient of a prestigious fellowship, Sargent Sparks is grateful for second chances.

“I am profoundly honored to receive this prestigious award. It symbolizes not just a personal achievement, but a testament to the path that brought me here,” she said. “Without the investment and encouragement of those who believed in me every step of the way, I wouldn’t stand where I am today. I am deeply grateful for this and excited to continue with this journey.”

In addition to Sargent Sparks, WSU alumnus Gunnar Sly also received one of the NSF fellowships for his studies at Penn State University.

Raphael Morrison Dorman Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow, Weatherhead Scholars Program

I am a political scientist researching the politics of authoritarian regimes and collective action in Russia and the post-Soviet region.

I am a Raphael Morrison Dorman Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow at the  Weatherhead Center for International Affairs  at  Harvard University . I received my PhD in  Political Science  from the  University of Michigan  in 2021 and I was a post-doctoral fellow at  New York University 's  Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia  from 2021-2022.

My work examines when and why autocratic regimes promise concessions to protestors, how these promises affect mobilization and their impact on policies.

In my  book project , I emphasize that a concession entails a process of potential policy change that begins with a promise of future action. Because these promises are not inherently credible, concessions are vulnerable to reneging, or the deliberate failure to implement concessions. I argue that while concessions can be an avenue to address problems about which the government lacked information, in many cases, they are used to undermine mobilization in the short-term, even if later reneging allows the grievance to endure. The book uses an original database on protest campaigns against the Moscow City government about policy-related grievances and is also informed by interviews with activists I conducted during fieldwork in Moscow. My related dissertation won the Juan Linz Prize for Best Dissertation in the Comparative Study of Democracy.

My other  research  interests in comparative politics include authoritarian institutions, repression, authoritarian responsiveness, urban politics and post-Soviet politics.

I also hold an MA in Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Regional Studies and a BA in Slavic Studies, both from  Columbia University . My research has been supported by the  National Science Foundation  and the  Carnegie Corporation/Harriman Institute , among others.

My Insights:

A War With No End in Sight

"More Russians have died in Ukraine than in all wars the country has fought since 1945 combined. But escalating repression and a culture of helpless disengagement have kept support for the war high," writes Sasha de Vogel.
