Dr. Evan Gorman (pictured on the left with Associate Professor Manuel Lladser), a recent Applied Mathematics Ph.D. graduate, has been awarded a in Arlington, VA. The position, which begins in July, is a two-year fellowship that is aimed towards supporting early career scientists. DARPA notes that the Innovation Fellows “develop and manage” high-impact, high-risk portfolios to analyze technologies for the Department of Defense. The purpose of the fellowship is to “search for innovation across a broad range of scientific fields and technologies. Fellows are asked to probe existing paradigms, question technological barriers, and push the state of the art in science and technology.” DARPA-funded research via universities, industry leaders, and nonprofits work closely with the fellows in an effort to evaluate the investability of high-risk, high-reward projects. The further discusses the fellowship and recipients.
Applied Mathematics congratulates Dr. Gorman on this exciting, ambitious new chapter after his successful thesis defense in the last year.
