The Raghunathan Family Fellowship is a Cambridge-based fellowship where the selected fellow will join the Mittal Institute community on Harvard\u2019s campus for the duration of the academic year. \u00a0The selected <\/b>Raghunathan<\/b> Fellow will be expected to be in residence for the full 2025\/2026 Academic Year <\/b>(please see Harvard\u2019s Academic Calendar<\/a> for exact dates).<\/p>\n While working directly with their selected Faculty Mentor on their personal research project (proposed in their application), the Raghunathan Family Fellow will fully engage with the intellectual life at the Mittal Institute and at Harvard.
