Throughout the years, Harvard has had anywhere between two and eight Marshall scholars, so this year's five is a good showing, according to Harvard's director of fellowships, Paul Bohlmann. Harvard's scholars are focusing on fields ranging from art history to mathematics and have career goals that vary from academics to elected office. Cohen, a chemistry and physics concentrator, plans to study at Cambridge University and to pursue either an M.Phil. or a D.Phil in physics. Cohen said he's always been interested in physics and technology. When he was young, he would take home and dismantle discarded televisions from the streets of his native New York, he said.
