Google created the PhD Fellowship Program in 2009 to recognize and support outstanding graduate students who seek to influence the future of technology by pursuing exceptional research in computer science and related fields. Now in its twelfth year, these Fellowships have helped support approximately 500 graduate students globally in North America and Europe, Africa, Australia, East Asia, and India.
It is our ongoing goal to continue to support the academic community as a whole, and these Fellows as they make their mark on the world. We congratulate all of this year’s awardees!
