Grant Yang, an undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering, received a 2013 Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.

Yang is advised by Bradley Clymer, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Petra Schmalbrock, associate professor of imaging science. His research explores the use of signal processing to expand the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in multiple sclerosis studies.

Yang serves as a representative on the Engineer’s Council and mentors high school students through the OSU FIRST Robotics competition. He has received several awards during his time at Ohio State including first place (tied) in the engineering category at the 2013 Denman Undergraduate Research Forum and was named a 2012 Goldwater Scholar.

After graduating spring semester, Yang plans to pursue a PhD in electrical engineering at Stanford University and aims to work in academia.

The National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) helps ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science and engineering in the United States and reinforces its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions.
