Rimsza, a first-year graduate student, is using the three-year, $120,000 fellowship to research functional glasses and amorphous materials using computer simulations in the group of Jincheng Du, associate professor of materials science and engineering. Her research could help make faster and more reliable electronic devices and computers.

Rimsza, the second student from the College of Engineering to win the fellowship, will complete her Ph.D. in 2016. She plans to pursue a career in academia.
