CMSO student wins Churchill Scholarship
Daniel Lecoanet, who will graduate with comprehensive honors from University of Wisconsin-Madison this spring with a double major in math and physics, has won a five-year, no-strings-attached fellowship to pursue graduate studies. Lecoanet, who worked on the internal dynamics of stars at UW-Madison, says he intends to pursue theoretical physics in grad school. "In theoretical physics, you have the opportunity to understand the essence of what's going on. There is this process of distilling a lot of experimental information into one clean idea," he says.
