Two Wellesley alums affiliated with the Computer Science department were awarded prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowships to support their graduate studies.  Several other Wellesley alums also received fellowships.

Su Lin Blodgett ’15 majored in Math and minored in CS after she discovered a passion for CS late during her time at Wellesley.  She is now a PhD student at UMass studying the use of statistical text analysis to answer social science questions.  She gave a Wellesley CS colloquium talk on her recent work last fall.

Emily Ahn ’16 majored in Cognitive and Linguistics Sciences with a CS concentration and completed an undergraduate honors thesis building a foreign accent classifier with Sravana Reddy.  She is now studying language technologies at Carnegie Mellon University.

Congrats to Su Lin and Emily!
