We are excited to share that Cecilia P. Matos Berríos has received an Honorable Mention from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)!
This recognition is awarded to applicants who demonstrate strong potential for impactful research careers in STEM and reflects Cecilia’s continued development as a scientist and engineer.
Cecilia is currently working on the electrochemical detection of lactic acid using redox-mediated systems, contributing to efforts to develop selective sensing platforms for biologically relevant analytes.
On receiving this recognition, Cecilia shared:
“Receiving an Honorable Mention from the NSF represents a great honor and a meaningful validation of my academic efforts, scientific curiosity, and commitment to research. This recognition reflects not only the work I have done so far, but also the potential I see in myself as a future researcher. It motivates me to continue developing in high-impact areas and contributing to advancements in engineering and science.”
Looking ahead, she added:
“I plan to pursue graduate studies in engineering, focusing on research that will allow me to build a strong technical and analytical foundation. My goal is to apply what I learn through research and academic training to work in research and development (R&D) within industry, contributing to innovative solutions with real-world impact.”
We congratulate Cecilia on this achievement and look forward to her continued progress!
