Kurtlab graduate students Efe Ozkaya and Zeynep Suar win competitive Stevens graduate fellowships.

Efe received the Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Fellowship, a 2-year fellowship offered by the Stevens Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship. His proposal on developing advanced actuation and inversion techniques for magnetic resonance elastography was one of the 4 proposal chosen out of 45.

Zeynep received the Provost Fellowship offered by the Provost Office at Stevens, a one-year fellowship offered only to the top student admitted to the ME PhD program. She is joining Kurtlab in August'17.
