BME Student Wins Prestigious Fellowship

Congratulations to Pranjal Vaidya who was named a recipient of the highly competitive Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (SIGHPC) Computational & Data Science Fellowship. The award, which includes $15,000 in funding, will help support Vaidya, a PhD student in the Case School of Engineering's Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics, in the completion of her degree.

The goal of the ACM SIGHPC Computational and Data Science Fellowship is “to increase the diversity of students pursuing graduate degrees in data science and computational science. Specifically targeted at women or students from racial/ethnic backgrounds that have not traditionally participated in the computing field, the program is open to students pursuing degrees at institutions anywhere in the world.”
