Congratulations to Cedric Bone, a Ph.D. student in computing and information sciences, whose research on how humans adapt to AI systems has earned him a government scholarship that fully funds his tuition and guarantees a research role upon graduation!

Bone earned the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship, one of the most competitive STEM awards offered through the Department of War. The program operates on a service-for-scholarship model. For every year of degree funding, SMART Scholars commit to working an equal amount of time as a civilian employee.

After completing his doctorate, Bone is set to work with the Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
