2022 OWSD PhD Fellows Announced

Twenty-two women from the developing world have been awarded OWSD PhD Fellowships, supporting them to pursue their PhDs in STEM subjects at institutions across the Global South.


OWSD warmly welcomes the 22 women who have been newly awarded the 2022 PhD Fellowship. The new fellows, who come from 16 developing countries across Africa, the Arab region, and Asia, will be supported to pursue their PhDs in STEM subjects at institutions in another country in the Global South. They intend to focus their PhD research on subjects ranging from monitoring the effects of climate change on river flow in Tanzania, to using deep learning to better track developmental disabilities in developing countries, to researching associations between particular genotypes and severity of COVID-19 disease in Palestinian populations. Meet all of the 2022 fellows below.
