GTG Travel Grant As part of an ongoing commitment to support the academic and professional development of Graduate Students at Clemson, the Graduate Student Government operates the Graduate Travel Grant (GTG). This initiative is designed to assist graduate students who are actively participating in conferences, workshops, and other scholarly activities outside the university. The application
The primary goal of a PhD is the ability of a student to become an independent researcher. Therefore, researching is a primary day to day task for graduate students. Fellowships allow for a graduate student to focus their time and energy on research alleviating their teaching responsibilities for the duration of a fellowship. First
Zhiyuan is a 6th-year graduate student working with his advisor, Dr. Feng Ding, in Biophysics.. Check out his paper here. “Proteins like amyloid-beta (Aβ) and islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) can misfold and form structures called amyloid fibrils, which are linked to diseases like Alzheimer’s (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We used physics-based molecular dynamics

Sagar is a 6th-year graduate student working with his advisor, Dr. Marco Ajello, in High-energy astrophysics. Check out his paper here and press release here. “We (possibly) found a binary supermassive black hole system. Galaxy mergers can lead to the supermassive black holes at their centers to merge as well. When they do, they emit
Yong is a 5th-year graduate student working with his advisor, Dr. Marco Ajello, in Astrophysics. Check out his paper here. “ Find rare blazars with high redshift (>=1.3), helping to understand and improve the unified model of blazars. Estimate the gamma-ray burst (GRB) localization capabilities of AMEGO-X and COSI, two proposed telescopes to NASA. Developing
Garima is a 3rd Year PhD student working with her advisor, Dr. Marco Ajello, in Astrophysics. Check out her paper here. “This paper investigates the nature of a mysterious Astrophysical source. At the heart of large galaxies resides a supermassive black hole, which can form an accretion disc and power energetic jets of particles. The
