Sean Freeman receives NSF GROW award

Sean Freeman, advised by Sue van den Heever, has received a Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW) award from the National Science Foundation. As an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, Freeman was able to apply for this additional funding to work with an advisor in another country.

Freeman will work with Professor Pier Siebesma at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Siebesma is a world leader in studying boundary layer and mixed-phase clouds. Freeman will help Siebesma complete numerical simulations and examine observational data of clouds over the Netherlands to answer fundamental questions about cloud physics and cloud processes.
