Google has announced the recipients of the 2025 Global Google PhD Fellowships. These fellowships recognize outstanding graduate students who are conducting exceptional and innovative research in computer science and related fields, specifically focusing on candidates who seek to influence the future of technology. The program provides vital direct financial support for their PhD pursuits and connects each Fellow with a dedicated Google Research Mentor, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing the academic community.
Méabh is a PhD candidate in the Moore Group at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses on quantum many-body physics, especially how signatures of quantum criticality manifest under non-equilibrium dynamics. She uses field-theoretic and computational tools such as tensor networks to study these systems, and is interested in the connections between these fundamental ideas and emerging applications in quantum computing and metrology.
