Yes! An excerpt from the article (which you can read here, if you're so inclined):
"Rhodes College juniors McKenna Davis and Matthew Huber are among 240 sophomores and juniors nationwide selected as Goldwater Scholars for the 2017-2018 academic year. Established by Congress in 1986 to honor Barry M. Goldwater, a five-term United States senator, the Goldwater Foundation provides scholarships to highly qualified college students who intend to pursue careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. Students cannot apply for the scholarship, but rather must be nominated by their institutions.
"Matthew Huber, a physics major from Saint Peter, MN, has worked in the lab of Dr. Brent Hoffmeister at Rhodes, comparing the acoustic properties of fabricated cancellous bone mimics with human bones to develop ultrasound techniques for diagnosing osteoporosis. He also has conducted ultrasound research at the Mayo Clinic and at Gustavus Adolphus College and will do so this summer at Duke University. His work has resulted in him co-authoring manuscripts and winning conference awards for best student paper and poster. Huber is vice-president of Rhodes’ Society of Physics Students, and a co-founder of the Rhodes Engineering Club. He plans to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering while conducting research in quantitative biomedical ultrasound at a research hospital or academic research institution."
So, yeah. He's pretty amazing. Like we didn't know that already...My exciting news is that after a secondary interview, I've been placed in the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for this summer! It's definitely going to be an exciting (and very educational) experience!
