Meet the 2024 Science & Technology Policy Fellowship Class

Article Published June 13, 2024

We’re thrilled to announce the 15 participants of our inaugural Science & Technology Policy Fellowship. These individuals are currently participating in our intensive month-long policy boot camp in San Francisco, where they are learning the skills needed to impact policy. The program teaches fellows tools like writing for policy, public speaking, stakeholder mapping, how to scope policy solutions, and more.

The Summer 2024 Science & Technology fellows are:

Awad Abdelhalim, Urban Mobility Researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Temiloluwa Adeniyi, Data Engineer, Developer, and Medical Device Specialist
Tiffany Chioma Anaebere, MD, Emergency Medicine Physician and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at St. Joseph’s Medical Center
Mary-Clare Bosco, Product Manager at Routeware
Evîn Cheikosman, Advisor on Urban Transformation and Systems Change
Laura Dabbish, Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University
Jonathan Gilmour, Data Scientist and Future Leader Climate Fellow at The Aspen Institute
Rohaina Hassan, Digital Strategist and Program Manager
Jeanette Jordan, Executive and Leadership Coach at Skye
Rebecca Kilberg, Public Service Software Developer and Researcher
Jordan Loewen-Colón, AI, Ethics, and Data Justice Coordinator at Centre for Health Innovation
Zach Nandapurkar, Sr. Solutions Engineer, Public Sector at Axonius
Ayodele Odubela, Executive Director at The AI ALT Lab
Lillie Penley, Trust and Safety Policy Specialist
Marilyn Zhang, Product Manager at Google Search

After completion of the program, participants will have the option to create a Hub-supported final policy project where they will define a problem, produce solutions, and pitch their solutions to real stakeholders. Many past policy projects have been adopted by government agencies and companies.
