Melanie Prieto, second-year graduate student in the Hausman Lab, was recently awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. This prestigious program supports students in various STEM fields for pursuing their groundbreaking research. Through this award, Melanie will be researching the cognitive processes involved in learning math and statistics, with a particular focus on identifying study strategies that help students learn the underlying concepts rather than just memorize formulas.
We are so proud of Melanie and can’t wait to see what amazing projects she will produce!
