Graduate student Matthew De Furio wins Travel Grant!

Graduate student Matthew De Furio was awarded a Travel Grant from the Rackham Graduate School to defray costs of attending the Winter 2019 American Astronomical Society Meeting.  As it turns out, a former Michigan graduate student, Ilse Cleeves (Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia) will receive the Annie Jump Cannon Award at the meeting, and former Michigan graduate student, Catherine Espaillat (Assistant Professor at Boston University) will also be a featured speaker at the meeting.  Matthew will be presenting his work characterizing the multiple star populations of the Orion Nebula Cluster using archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope (pictured below).  The project was proposed by former Michigan McLaughlin Post-doctoral Fellow Megan Reiter.  Congratulations Matthew!
