McCartor Fellowship Awards

The Gary McCartor Fellowship Program was established in 2008 in memory of physicist Gary McCartor who provided scientific leadership for the field of light cone physics. With the initial donation of Gary’s widow Sheila McCartor, the Program enables young scientists to develop their expertise and contribute to forefront physics research. Travel awards have been made to promising young scientists to attend and present their research at the annual Light Cone conferences.
