Joshua Ange, a senior President’s Scholar majoring in Physics and Mathematics, will study at the University of Cambridge next year where he will complete a research-centered master’s degree in Physics under the supervision of cosmologist Dr. Boris Bolliet.
In recognition of his dedication to astrophysics and cosmology research, Joshua received the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship as a second-year student after appearing as first author on a physics paper concerning measurement of alpha particles on dark matter detectors. During his junior year, he published a second paper as first author, this time on Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) delensing. Since then, he has submitted another essay for review and is part of research teams preparing another four essays for submission.
The Churchill Scholarship will allow Joshua to continue his journey to a career in astrophysics research. Limited to only 16 students each year, the Churchill Scholarship provides tuition, room & board, and travel support for a one-year STEM master’s degree at the University of Cambridge.
