Future scientific leaders
Mattia Serra, who recently finished his doctoral studies at the Chair of Nonlinear Dynamics at the Institute for Mechanical Systems, has been selected as one of 14 members of the inaugural class of Schmidt Science Fellows. This fellowship program aims to support the next generation of scientific leaders.
The newly established Schmidt Science Fellows program seeks to expand the horizons of the next generation of leaders and innovators in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics and computing. The program is administered by Schmidt Futures, in partnership with the Rhodes Trust, and is supported by leading scientific thinkers, industry leaders and institutions.
More than 250 candidates have been nominated by a select group of top universities from around the globe for this award. The selected scholars will receive a stipend of 100,000 US-dollars from the program, as well as dedicated leadership and innovation training at several leading academic institutions.
