EPP graduate students receive CMU fellowships

EPP graduate students Anna Cobb, Ioana Iacob, and Emmy Moore were selected as recipients of CMU College of Engineering and engineering & public policy fellowships.

Anna Cobb has been selected to receive a Presidential Fellowship, which is awarded by the Collge of Engineering to an outstanding graduate student. First established in 2014, the Presidential Fellowship Program is amongst the university’s most competitive and prestigious scholarships. The fellowship program provides important financial support to recruit and retain outstanding graduate students, whose work here ensures that Carnegie Mellon maintains its position as an international leader in graduate education and research. Cobb’s research focuses on electric vehicle infrastructure development, impacts and growth of TNCs (transportation network companies), and hydrogen transport and production.

Emmy Moore has been selected to receive a Bradford and Diane Smith Fellowship, which is also awarded by the College of Engineering to a highly deserving graduate student. The Bradford and Diane Smith fellowship was created through the generosity of Bradford Smith, a 1969 graduate of the College of Engineering, and his wife Diane, a 1971 graduate of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, to help support the graduate studies of highly deserving students in the College of Engineering.

Ioana Iacob has been selected to receive the Emerson and Elizabeth Pugh Fellowship in engineering and public policy. Dr. Emerson Pugh studied at Carnegie Tech, as did his parents. Dr. Pugh taught at CMU for one year before pursuing a career at IBM, where he successfully innovated in the area of memory and information processing technologies. Dr. and Mrs. Pugh are committed to using technology to help solve societal problems and improve the quality of life for all people. They established the Pugh Fellowship to support a graduate student pursuing new and innovative research.
