Google-CAHSI Dissertation Awardees

Computer science research has broad implications for billions of people—which is why it is so important that researchers doing this work represent the experiences, perspectives and concerns of people all around the world. In 2019, together with Google Research, CAHSI and the LEAP Alliance established competitive dissertation awards programs across their network of institutions to increase Ph.D. graduates in computing. They invite domestic doctoral students to apply for the awards to be used for the last year of the completion of the dissertation requirements. Meet the CAHSI doctoral students who received the 2024-2025 award. By pursuing research in computer science and related fields, they are positively influencing the direction and perspective of technology. Hear what they have shared about themselves, their aspirations, and their dreams for the future.
