Robert Krossa, a senior from Kirkland, earned the Alvarez Award for Applied Research at Carleton College.

The Sarah F. Hamm-Alvarez ’86 and R. Michael Alvarez ’86 Award for Applied Research was established in 2014 to support research efforts of students who are working to bring innovations and concepts from theory or laboratory to the real world. Study might be in natural or social sciences and should propel conceptual or theoretical results into practical applications.
