TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Recipients

Meet the dynamic undergraduates who were awarded TEAM-UP Together Scholarships in 2025.

Danielle Nunez

Physics, minor in Computer Science and Mathematics, Randolph College

I am passionate about particle physics, especially uncovering the universe’s fundamental forces.

Abdulsalam Odofin-Kamorudeen

Physics and Mathematics, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

I love thinking about the small things, the principles that govern the most basic units of nature, and how everyday observations emerge from these underlying laws.

Chidiebere Nelson Okafor

Physics and Mathematics, Colby College

Sometimes I tell myself that it's the pure scientific elements in physics — other times, I reckon it's the unique nature of the concepts, but what I'm most passionate about in physics is the impact I get to make in the world with a physics degree.

Savaria Parrish

Geosciences (Planetary Science), Virginia Tech

I always found it fascinating that planets exist in their own way; no two planets are exactly alike in our solar system.

Carlton Passley

Physics, Delaware State University

Research is a form of education because it helps us learn more about the world and gain real solutions to our everyday problems.

Bryson Perryman

Physics, Muhlenberg College

I'm most passionate about extraterrestrial bodies and how they affect one another.

Jadyn T Peterson

Astronomy and Astrophysics, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

I finally get to focus and put all my effort into my major and my future.

Kamayani Richhariya

Physics and Applied Mathematics, State University of New York, Oswego

Receiving this scholarship is important because it would relieve financial pressures and allow me to fully focus on my studies and research in astrophysics. It would also give me the opportunity to engage more deeply in research experiences.

Arianna Rodríguez-Ortiz

Physics, University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez

What I am most passionate about is observational astronomy. I find it interesting to analyze data from observations that you have planned.

Dayanara Rogel

Physics and Biology, Mount Holyoke College

I am fascinated by the concept of quantum entanglement and how our world works when you look at it through the lens of tiny particles such as neutrinos or electrons. I am also interested in fluid dynamics and how it’s used to predict weather.

Phoenix-Avery Sarían

Astronomy & Astrophysics, Ohio State University

My mother sparked my curiosity with a telescope, science books, and museum trips. Since then, physics and astronomy have inspired me, reminding me of both possibility and the vastness beyond my circumstances.

Madison Sawyer

Astronomy, Swarthmore College

I’m most passionate about the unknowns in astronomy and how my journey may evolve. I’m excited to see where research takes me — whether that’s new discoveries, places I’ll travel to, or unexpected directions my work may shift.

#TUTSEC2024

We’re excited to share highlights from our inaugural Student Experience Conference in October.

“You're part of a legacy. There are people whose footsteps you're following, and people who are following you, and people who want to help you.”

Gregory Mosby

Project Scientist for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope at Goddard Space Flight Center

Dr. Edwin Moses, Gold Medal Olympian & Physicist

“I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to AIP and the future scientists of America. My journey in science began as a 17 year old quite nerdy young scientist nurtured by curiosity passed down from my father , a scientist, educator and Tuskegee Airman. Hopefully my story will provide hope, confidence and inspiration -- and help lead you on a path to success.”

Edwin C. Moses

BS Physics, MBA, Sc.D h.c., OLY
