Do you have a technical project you wish you had the capacity to explore? A rich set of data you haven't had time to dig into? We'd love to work with you!
Cornell Tech's Public Interest Tech PhD Impact Fellowship embeds technical PhD students within a public interest organization, where they contribute their skills towards your real-world, impact-focused mission. To learn more about the Fellowship and the role of host organizations, visit our
website.
Our students’ expertise ranges from data (machine learning, data science, natural language processing, optimization, fairness), to human-centered design (human-computer interaction, accessibility, design explorations), to emerging technology (mixed reality, Internet of Things), and security and privacy.
We generally encourage host organizations to engage fellows in projects they've been wanting to take on (exploring a potentially rich but thus-far neglected data set, for example) rather than provide operationally-critical labor (like developing the software for a startup's main product).
