Vincent Holmberg in chemical engineering is one of two graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin who will begin a five-year fellowship in fall 2007 from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. The no-strings-attached Foundation support is intended to provide fellows with the independence to conduct innovative research.
