The Physical Sciences Division has selected three graduate students to receive a William Rainey Harper Dissertation Fellowship for the 2025–2026 academic year.
The intent of the award is two-fold: to recognize significant achievement and to facilitate completion of the doctoral degree. This award, one of the University of Chicago’s highest honors, is given in recognition of a PhD candidate’s record of achievement and professional promise.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients:

- Wenxin Ding, Computer Science
