A transformative initiative empowering students, faculty, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, mentorship and collaborative opportunities to lead in the era of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Technologies.
See what it means to research, innovate and lead as part of the AI & Quantum Fellowship community — hear directly from Santosh Talaghatti on the Young Innovator Program, and what it takes to go from curious student to confident innovator.
The Fellowship is built on three pillars that take a Fellow from learning to leading — from the classroom to the innovation ecosystem.
Future-ready learning in AI, Quantum Technologies, Research Methodology, Innovation, Leadership and Entrepreneurship.
Collaborative research projects, publications, patents, prototype development and technology commercialization.
Mentorship, incubation, industry partnerships, startup acceleration and investor readiness.
Open to anyone ready to innovate, research and lead.
Every AI & Quantum Fellowship is built around a specific research domain and a management sub-subject — so Fellows graduate with deep subject expertise and the leadership, management and fundraising skills to turn research into real-world impact.
