Caltech Fellowships: Supporting Graduate Students

From the creator

Freedom to think big and flexibility to take risks—these are what fellowships offer Caltech’s talented graduate students. Most endowed graduate fellowships at Caltech do not tether students to advisors, laboratories, or federal grants, which allows fellows to explore and partner with the research groups of their choice. This latitude—a hallmark of graduate study at the Institute—sparks creative collaborations and interdisciplinary problem-solving. It also increases our competitive edge in attracting and retaining top scholars from around the world. This video features the following Engineering and Applied Science Chair Scholars and their mentors: Zachary Ahmad, a materials science major, works with Katherine Faber, the Simon Ramo Professor of Materials Science. Joudi Hajar, an electrical engineering major, works with Charles Elachi (MS ’69, PhD ’71), professor of electrical engineering and planetary science, emeritus, and former director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL, which Caltech manages for NASA), and with Babak Hassibi, the Mose and Lillian S. Bohn Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Mathematical Sciences.
