On August 4th, 2016 CIERA’s ISG summer researchers presented their findings to a group of faculty and peers.
The Illinois Space Grant (ISG) is an annual educational grant awarded by NASA to Northwestern University through the Illinois Space Grant Consortium to outstanding undergraduates.
This year the award allowed for seven talented new researchers to spend their summer at CIERA, working closely with an advising professor in one of several areas of space sciences and astrophysics.
Congratulations to these remarkable students on all of their hard work!
