Five Naval Academy Midshipmen Awarded Stamps Scholarships
JAN. 04, 2022 10:55 A.M.
ANNAPOLIS, MD. – Five U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen were recently awarded a Stamps Scholarship, a merit-based academic scholarship which assists students associated with studying abroad, experiential learning opportunities, and undergraduate research internships.
The following midshipmen were awarded a Stamps Scholarship: Midshipman 3rd Class (sophomore) Mia Dhillon, 18, of Chicago; Midshipman 3rd Class (sophomore) Adrien Richez, 20, of Atlanta; Midshipman 3rd Class (sophomore) Abigail Ward, 19, of Pasadena, Maryland; Midshipman 3rd Class (sophomore) Jada Williams, 20, of Philadelphia; and Midshipman 3rd Class (sophomore) Joshua Wilson, 21, of Miami.
Dhillon is an applied physics major with a focus in chemistry and biology at the Naval Academy. She is currently working in collaboration with researchers at Naval Research Laboratory Washington to model the temperature profile of cone and rod-shaped carbon fibers. Dhillon plans to pursue physics as a medium to view the world quantitatively through which she can be creative in both thought and on paper.
Outside the classroom, Dhillon is a member of several midshipman faith organizations, the medicine club, the Gospel Choir, and the Navy Women’s Ice Hockey Team. She has held several leadership positions, including company Midshipmen Action Group (MAG) representative and battalion physics tutor.
Richez is an aerospace engineering major at the Naval Academy. He is conducting ongoing research under the supervision of Dr. Karl Battams of the heliophysics division at the Naval Research Laboratory and Dr. Matthew Knight of the Naval Academy Physics Department. His work aims to dramatically improve the efficiency of photometric data analysis from the LASCO instrument of NASA’s/ESA’s SOHO satellite by perfecting the code used to automate the photometry process of images taken by the instrument’s coronagraphs. Richez is also an engineer on the Robotic Repair Satellite Program, where he is working on a proof of concept for operating robotic arms aboard the International Space Station.
