Patrick Haughey Receives a 2024-2025 NC Space Grant Graduate Research Fellowship

North Carolina Space Grant congratulates its 2024-2025 graduate research fellows. Twenty two graduate students will conduct science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) research to benefit NASA, commercial space or the International Space Station. Students’ projects will investigate STEM topics such as carbon storage, microgravity, and black hole exploration.

“We are excited to announce the largest cohort of Graduate Research Fellows we have ever supported for this award.” said Sandy Canfield, NC Space Grant assistant director. “As a result, there is a vast range of research across all areas of STEM reflective of NASA’s Mission Directorates.” 

NASA is broken down into five research-drive areas: aeronautics, human exploration and operations, science, space technology and mission support. The work of NC Space Grant Graduate Research Fellows supports these Mission Directorates. 

Congratulations to Patrick for being one of the students selected to continue his research on the recovery of satellite imaging in perturbatory environments alongside Drs. Tsynkov and Gilman. As part of the fellowship, he will have the opportunity to present their findings at the NC Space Symposium at NC State on April 11, 2025.
