Global PhD Student Fellowship in Human-Centered Technology, Innovation, and Design

In collaboration with the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi offers the Global PhD Student Fellowship in Human-Centered Technology, Innovation & Design.

Innovations in technologies redefine and reshape people's lives, changing social and cultural practices, norms and values, institutional processes, and economies and infrastructures. Working to develop new applications for existing and emerging human-centered technologies informed through rigorous, interdisciplinary research and managing socio-technical transitions is a fast-growing and highly important area of research across a number of fields and disciplines.

PhD Students in the Global PhD Student Fellowship undertake most of their coursework in New York and conduct their research in Abu Dhabi. This enables each student to engage in formative study with an entering cohort of students, and take advantage of NYU’s world-class resources.
