Yizhi You Awarded Dissertation Completion Fellowship for 2016-2017 Year

Physics grad student Yizhi You, a condensed matter theory PhD student in Eduardo Fradkin's research group, has been awarded a Dissertation Completion Fellowship for the 2016 - 2017 academic year from the Illinois Graduate College.

The Graduate College's Dissertation Completion Fellowships help outstanding students complete the doctoral degree by providing a full one-year stipend, along with coverage of tuition, service fee, health service fee, AFMFA fee, library fee, and basic dental and vision coverage.  The intent of the fellowship is to free Fellows from assistantships and other work obligations, allowing them to devote themselves full-time to the completion of the dissertation.
