Congratulations to Harrison Blake, a double major in physics and astronomy and astrophysics, for being awarded an Astronaut Scholarship. Harrison has been working with Professor Chris Hirata on extreme mass ratio inspirals around supermassive black holes as a test of General Relativity. His career goals are to continue studying gravitational physics and sources of astrophysical gravitational waves.
