Alex Iacchetta, a Ph.D. student working with James Fienup, the Robert E. Hopkins Professor of Optics, has received a 2014 NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship for his proposal, "Astro-Interferometric Modeling and Spatio-Spectral Reconstruction," in concert with activities at the Goddard Space Flight Center.
