One of the recipients of the Khaled bin Sultan Graduate Fellowship Award from 2001-2004 was Tracy J. Mincer, a Ph.D. student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California. The fellowship has provided support to Tracy to conduct investigations into the potential use of unique marine actinomycetes as a new biomedical resource.
Tracy received a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry/ Biochemistry from the University of San Diego in 1995, and went on to work as a staff researcher at several laboratories studying plasmid biology and marine bacteria. He has published in journals such as Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Journal of Bacteriology, and Plasmid.
 Mary Engels
Mary Engels graduated from the University of Hawaii in 2003 with a Master of Science degree in Geology and Geophysics. She was a recipient of the Khaled bin Sultan Graduate Fellowship Award from 2001-2003. Her thesis was entitled:
“Meso-scale variability and geological development of
Molokai fringing reef, Hawaiian Islands, U.S.”
The study combined airborne remote sensing, diver ecological surveys, and wire-line drill coring to determine the response of Hawaii’s largest fringing reef to changing environmental influences over the period 10,000 years ago to the present.
