Graduate Fellowships
Hertz Foundation
Freedom to innovate
"The Hertz Fellowship allowed me the flexibility to choose an unconventional thesis topic (microchannel cooling) rather than being force-fit into an existing funded research program. The startup company that I co-founded was a direct off-shoot of interests that I developed during my Ph.D. research."

"The Hertz Foundation was Transformational! It literally changed my life... I canceled plans to spend a year in Germany and decided to go to graduate school at Berkeley, instead."


University of California, Berkeley
Hertz Fellow 1969
