Our NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program this week awarded up to $50,000 each to 11 Ph.D. students involved in GPU computing research.
The fellowship program supports graduate students doing GPU-based work. We selected our fellows from more than 120 applicants from a host of countries.
The work they’re doing puts them at the forefront of GPU computing, with fellows tackling projects in deep learning, high performance computing and autonomous devices.
“These exceptional grad students are helping to define the future of computing, and we’re delighted to support their work,” said NVIDIA Chief Scientist Bill Dally.
The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is open to applicants worldwide.
