Global Fellows
The Global Lab Faculty Fellows Program supports WPI faculty to reimagine research and pedagogical practices. Each year, the Global Lab hosts Faculty Fellows who spend a term in residence at the Global Lab to complete a research or creative project that advances their professional goals.
The work completed by Faculty Fellows is highlighted here. For more information about their work, contact them directly.
