Math/Physics Undergrad Named 2005 Goldwater Scholar
COLLEGE STATION —
Senior mathematics and physics major Zorawar Wadiasingh of Humble has been recognized as one of three 2005 Barry M. Goldwater Scholars from Texas A&M University.
Wadiasingh — along with fellow A&M seniors Agustin Mohedas of Ponca City, Okla., and Brian Sedio of San Antonio — was one of 380 recipients of the prestigious scholarship selected from a national field of 1,100 applicants.
Wadiasingh, who holds a Welch Undergraduate Fellowship and is actively involved with Texas A&M’s George P. and Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics, also is a winner of the President’s Achievement Award, Academic Excellence Award and Academic Incentive Award. He plans to earn a Ph.D. in theoretical high-energy physics and cosmology and wants to focus on fundamental physics and obtain “a tenured faculty position to conduct research and teach at a university.”
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship Program was created to encourage outstanding students to pursue careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering and to foster excellence in those fields. In awarding scholarships, the foundation board of trustees considered each nominee’s field of study career objectives.
