Richard Baliban GS, William Cavendish GS, William Deringer GS and Andrew Huddleston GS are the winners of this year’s fellowship, an annual award that recognizes graduate students who exhibit “the highest scholarly excellence,” according to the University.
The fellowship is designed to fund the winners’ final years of graduate study at the University.
Baliban, who received an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and worked for ExxonMobil before coming to Princeton, is a doctoral candidate in Chemical and Biological Engineering.
His research involves cell analysis, which is commonly used to determine root causes of cancer and other diseases.
Cavendish, a member of the mathematics department with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago and a master’s from Brown University, is focusing on low-dimension topology and geometry.
Derringer earned a master’s from Princeton in the history of science program, and his doctoral research on economic history and the British ‘financial revolution’ builds on this previous work.
Huddleston did his undergraduate study at Brown and the University of Cambridge before coming to the University as a philosophy Ph.D. candidate. His work focuses on Friedrich Nietzsche’s concern with the decadence and flourishing of cultures.
The students will be honored on Alumni Day on Feb. 25 at Jadwin Gymnasium.
