Andrew Siciliano, who graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a degree in geology and minors in chemistry, math, and geography, has been named a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow — an award that follows the Barry Goldwater Scholarship he received in his junior year. He earned the highest GPA in the geology program, making him a Westfall Scholar, worked with Associate Professor Philipp Ruprecht on the geochemistry of Great Basin volcanoes, and ran state-of-the-art analytical instruments in Joel DesOrmeau’s electron microbeam lab. A Summer Program for Undergraduate Research award sent him to the University of Utah, where he will now pursue his doctorate with Chadlin Ostrander. Siciliano hopes to become a professor running his own geochemistry lab.
