Announcing the 2024 Google PhD Fellows

It's been 15 years since Google launched the PhD Fellowship Program to recognize and support outstanding graduate students pursuing exceptional research in computer science and related fields.

At Google, we firmly believe in the connection between scientific advancement and social impact. We're committed to supporting PhD students' fundamental research through funding and mentorship, and see it as vital to transforming the way we approach the toughest problems across foundational science. Over the past 15 years, Google's PhD Fellowship Program has supported over 800 graduate students from over 210 universities in 53 countries across Africa, Australia, East Asia, Europe, India, Latin America, New Zealand, North America and Southeast Asia.

I'm thrilled the program has been able to champion PhD students at the forefront of scientific advancement around the globe. And today, I'm excited to announce the recipients of the 2024 Google PhD Fellowship program. See the complete list of Google PhD Fellowship recipients for 2024.

As we welcome the 2024 Google PhD Fellows, I also want to take a moment to reflect on the journeys of some of our earliest fellows. Our program fosters a vibrant community of scholars who have gone on to shape the landscape of computer science across academia, industry and entrepreneurship. Their experiences and accomplishments exemplify the impact that passionate researchers can have on technology and society. Here's what nine Google PhD Fellows from the program's first year had to say about their experiences.
