Illinois student wins NASA scholarship
Since he was in high school, Sumit Dutta has marveled at the cosmological revelations made during space missions and has hankered after using that knowledge to create a real impact on society and science. Now an undergraduate at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, he is well on his way to fulfilling his ambitions.
