NASA Awards Mary Sullivan Graduate Fellowship

Dean Selçuk Güçeri was proud to announce that Ms. Mary Sullivan received a prestigious NASA Graduate Fellowship. Mary’s research proposal title was, "Novel Polymer Systems for Sensors and Spacecraft-Protective Materials.” Mary was the first student to enroll in Drexel’s engineering B.S./Ph.D. SuperNOVA program. Mary joined Drexel from the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) in 2001. She was a member of the NASA KC-135 flight team and is currently pursuing her doctoral studies under the guidance of Prof. Giuseppe Palmese, the department head of chemical and biological engineering. NASA received more than 3,000 applications for this program but awarded only eight new fellowships this year.
