Biomedical engineering student Michael Ryan Haynes has won a prestigious Marshall Scholarship to study at Cambridge University in England.

The award will allow Haynes to spend a year at Cambridge, followed by a year at the Imperial College of London to earn a master’s degree in neuroscience and health-related nanotechnology.

Haynes is the seventh Georgia Tech student to earn a Marshall Scholarship. The scholarship was established for American students in 1953 by the British government in appreciation for assistance received after World War II under the Marshall Plan.

At Tech, Haynes studies chemical reward mechanisms in embodied cultured networks in the neuro-engineering lab of assistant professor Steve Potter.
