A big congratulations goes to REdesign PhD candidate Emily W. Ozpinar, who was recently selected as a 2021 Horizon Award recipient by The Graduate School at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH)! The Horizon Award, as well as the Impact Award, are annual awards given to outstanding graduate students whose research has benefited, or is likely to benefit North Carolina and its citizens. Each department at UNC-CH may nominate up to two graduate students, who then go through a rigorous application process. In early January, Emily, along with a description of her research, will be featured on The Graduate School’s website and will be further recognized at the Annual Graduate Student Recognition Celebration.
You may read more about this fantastic news on The Graduate School’s website. It is also posted on the UNC-CH homepage, on the BME department website and Emily is specially featured in a post from UNC Healthcare as a graduate student in the School of Medicine and UNC/NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Bravo, Emily!
