We are proud to introduce our 2019 Schmidt Science Fellows. Our new cohort joins the inaugural Fellows as part of our remarkable and growing interdisciplinary community of emerging scientific leaders seeking to tackle global challenges and advancing scientific discovery.

Our 2019 Fellows collectively represent 15 nations of origin, 18 nominating PhD institutions in 7 countries, and scientific interests encompassing genetics, meteorology, digital design, physics, engineering, and more. They aim to advance discovery in areas applicable to health, the environment, clean energy, computer science, smart materials, and beyond.

Each Fellow is undertaking a postdoctoral research placement at a disciplinary pivot from their PhD. Amongst placement destinations for the 2019 cohort are Duke University, MIT, Northwestern University, NIST, Harvard, the Broad Institute, and the University of Cambridge.
