Posted by John Hunter | Under NSF Fellows Friday Jul 6, 2007Honors College Student Named NSF Graduate Research Fellow
The fellowship is the most prestigious award of Elsohly’s undergraduate career at Ole Miss, said Gregory Tschumper, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry. “The National Science Foundation not only recognizes the outstanding quality and quantity of research that Adel has already completed, but it also recognizes his potential for a highly productive scientific career,” Tschumper said. “It is a tremendous honor for Adel and for the university.”
Besides Young and Tschumper, Elsohly credited Keith Hollis, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry; Christopher McCurdy, assistant professor of medicinal chemistry; and William Staton, professor of mathematics; for their time and effort in making his application successful. Elsohly received a prestigious Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship in March 2006. He has won awards for his research at regional and national levels and is the first author of two published articles, including one in the highly regarded Journal of the American Chemical Society. Recently Elsohly was also a finalist for a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
President of the university’s Muslim Student Association and an avid rock climber, he is the son of Mahmoud and Hala Elsohly of Oxford.
