THE ROWLAND INSTITUTE
Pushing boundaries in experimental science & engineering
Rowland Fellowships
The Rowland Institute at Harvard hosts the Rowland Fellows program whereby young experimentalists in all fields of science and engineering establish an independent research program supported by the rich intellectual environment at Rowland, Harvard University, and the greater Cambridge area. The Rowland Fellows program prioritizes maximizing opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions. Check our Fellowships page to learn more about the application process to become a Rowland Fellow.
Research Opportunities
Research opportunities are always available at the Institute. We seek scientists at all levels from undergraduate to postdoctoral researchers. Please check our Opportunities page for current announcements, and feel free to directly email the Rowland Fellows if you are interested in their work.
News & Announcements
- Rayshubskiy lab “fly microbots” paper published in PNAS and featured in Ars Technica
Rowland Fellow Sasha Rayshubskiy and his team have turned ordinary fruit flies into remarkably controllable “micro-robots.” – without a single gear or circuit board in sight. Rather than building tiny robots from scratch, the team takes advantage of a fruit fly’s built-in reflexes. Their new study, published in PNAS, and featured on the technology news… - Reece lab paper makes the cover of Angewandte Chemie
Rowland Fellow Christian Reece and his team have published an exciting new paper describing the isolation and identification of a high-activity metastable state that forms over carbon monoxide-covered platinum nanoparticles. This project was led by undergraduate researcher Samantha Le in collaboration with postdocs Christopher O’Connor and Taek-Seung Kim. Sam recently joined Stanford Chemistry for graduate… - Introducing new Rowland Fellow, Purnati Khuntia
The Rowland Institute is delighted to welcome Dr. Purnati Khuntia to the Fellowship program. Purnati joins us from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Hyderabad, India, and is now setting up her lab to study the mechanobiology of pseudostratified epithelia (PSE), to investigate how biophysical properties of a tissue can support cell storage….
