James Shin, an electrical engineering major from Hoschton, Georgia, has received a 2025 Marshall Scholarship. He will study physics at the University of Cambridge and public policy at the University of Oxford to advance engineering in space.
Shin has coupled his academic program, first, with research in the Space Systems Design Laboratory and the Dynamics and Control System Laboratory at Georgia Tech. He then became interested in extreme environment electronics through his research in Dr. Cressler’s Silicon-Germanium Devices Lab. His expertise in resilient technology earned him coveted internships at Blue Origin and SpaceX, where he was a 2024 Matthew Isakowitz Fellow.
