Highlights from the Annual Google PhD Fellowship Summit, and Announcing the 2017 Google PhD Fellows
Tuesday, September 12, 2017
Posted by Susie Kim, Program Manager, University Relations
In 2009, Google created the
PhD Fellowship Program
to recognize and support outstanding graduate students doing exceptional research in Computer Science and related disciplines. Now in its ninth year, our Fellowships have helped support over 300 graduate students in
Australia
,
China and East Asia
,
India
,
North America, Europe and the Middle East
who seek to shape and influence the future of technology.
Recently, Google PhD Fellows from around the globe converged on our Mountain View campus for the second annual Global PhD Fellowship Summit. VP of Education and University Programs
Maggie Johnson
welcomed the Fellows and went over Google's approach to research and its impact across our products and services. The students heard talks from researchers like
Ed Chi
,
Douglas Eck
,
Úlfar Erlingsson
,
Dina Papagiannaki
,
Viren Jain
,
Ian Goodfellow
,
Kevin Murphy
and
Galen Andrew
, and got a glimpse into some of the state-of-the-art research pursued across Google.

The event included a panel discussion with
Domagoj Babic
,
Kathryn McKinley
,
Nina Taft
,
Roy Want
and
Sunny Colsalvo
about their unique career paths in academia and industry. Fellows also had the chance to connect one-on-one with Googlers to discuss their research, as well as receive feedback from leaders in their fields in smaller deep dives and a poster event.

Our PhD Fellows represent some the best and brightest young researchers around the globe in Computer Science and it is our ongoing goal to support them as they make their mark on the world.
We’d additionally like to announce the complete list of our 2017 Google PhD Fellows, including the latest recipients from China and East Asia, India, and Australia. We look forward to seeing each of them at next year’s summit!
