					2007 CECSF Scholarship Recipient
		Ryan Taylor Development and Experimental Validation of a CFD Pulse-tube Design Tool
		I am extremely honored to be chosen as the recipient of the 2007 CEC Timmerhaus Scholarship. I would like to express my gratitude to the CEC Board and all the industrial supporters of the CEC Scholarship Fund for selecting me as a recipient. I would also like to thank my advisors, Professors Greg Nellis and Sanford Klein, for introducing me to the field of cryogenics as well as their invaluable advice and suggestions regarding my work. The research which this award will be supporting is the development of an experimentally validated CFD design model for the pulse-tube and flow transitioning components within a pulse-tube cryocooler. In the future I hope to make significant contributions to the cryogenics field in the area of cryocooler research.

					2005 CECSF Scholarship Recipients Congratulations, and Best Wishes! Both awarded $10,000 towards their continuing education in cryogenics studies.
		Jinglei Shi University of Wisconsin			CSA Cold Facts Article			Jeesung Jeff Cha Georgia Institute of Technology
		I am extremely glad to accept the Cryogenic Engineering Conference scholarship. Thank you for the support to my research. Here I’d like to acknowledge my advisors, John Pfotenhauer and Greg Nellis. Also, I am very thankful to Prof. Guobang Chen and Limin Qiu, who first opened the cryogenic world to me. My interests focus on the numerical modeling and experimental study of the mini/large scale cryocoolers. I’d like do something meaningful in the cryogenic society and make my work valuable. I will continue to work hard with the same efforts, which brought this award to me.			Papers: Dimensionless analysis for regenerator design (Jinglei Shi, John Pfotenhauer, and Greg Nellis) Year End Report & Technical Papers			I feel honored for having been chosen as one of the first recipients of the CEC Scholarship. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the CEC Board of Directors and all supporters of the CEC cryogenic Scholarship Fund for selecting me as a recipient. I personally would like to express my gratitude to my advisor Dr. S. Mostafa Ghiaasiaan, and Drs. Harvey, Desai, and Kirkconnell for having introduced me to the world of cryogenics and motivating me to excel. I plan to continue research in the area of modeling cryocooler components, focusing on steady, pulsating, and periodic anisotropic hydrodynamic parameters in the regenerators. I look forward to an exciting and rewarding career in the cryocooler science and technology.
