Elias Aydi Awarded Prestigious NASA Hubble Fellowship

Mar 29, 2022

Hubble. A word that immediately conjures thoughts of space and stunning images of the galaxy captured during the Hubble Space Telescope’s mission to unlock the secrets of the universe.

But Hubble encompasses even more, including the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program, which supports promising postdoctoral scientists to pursue independent research that contributes to NASA Astrophysics, using theory, observation, experimentation or instrument development.

Elias Aydi, a postdoc in MSU’s  Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Natural Science is one of a select group of 24 young scientists internationally who were awarded a prestigious 2022 NASA Hubble Fellowship. 

I am deeply humbled and honored to be awarded this prestigious fellowship and I am very excited to continue my research at MSU as a NASA Hubble Fellow. When I saw the email starting with ‘Congratulations,’ I couldn't believe my eyes. I barely read the first line of the email and immediately called my mother back home to share with her the news about this achievement.
