THE ROWLAND INSTITUTE
Pushing boundaries in experimental science & engineering
Rowland Fellowship
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.

- Rowland welcomes Fellows Viktoriia Morad & Sophia Shi
The Rowland Institute is excited to welcome two new Rowland Fellows, Dr. Viktoriia Morad and Dr. Sophia Shi. Viktoriia joins us from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where she completed her PhD in 2023. While at Rowland, Viktoriia’s lab will be focusing on novel colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals as programmable light-harvesting and charge-handling units. Sophia joins us from… - 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…
