Swati Ravi CC’22, of Plano, Texas, has been selected as one of twelve recipients of the George J. Mitchell Scholarship. Ravi plans to pursue an MSc in Space, Science and Technology at University College Dublin.

Established in 1998, Mitchell Scholarships provide one year of postgraduate study at an Irish university in either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. Named after Senator George Mitchell, the program seeks to support future leaders in any field who will benefit from study on the island of Ireland. This is the second year that the Scholars were selected virtually, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ravi won first place for her paper about that project at the 2021 AIAA SciTech Forum, the world’s largest conference for aerospace research and development. She also won the NASA Student Payload Opportunity with Citizen Science competition. She led a team of 25 students in designing a project to study the effects of microgravity on antibiotic resistance of bacteria. This project will fly to the International Space Station in December 2021, said the release.
Ravi served as president of the Columbia Space Initiative, an aerospace engineering student club with 120 active members. She also oversaw Columbia University’s math and science tutoring outreach program with three New York City public schools.

She will be doing her research and study in Space, Science and Technology at University College Dublin.
