Research Fellowship

MFI Undergraduate Fellowship Program
Our fellows are integral members of our research team, which includes the two co-directors, Dr. Adam Stivers and Dr. Nabamita Dutta; our research economist, Nicholas McFaden; and our student fellows, Khang Duong, Joshua Schulze-Reimpell, and Grace Reek. As part of their research responsibilities, fellows will be expected to write monthly non-technical op-ed pieces, produce a more technical research paper each semester, and present their work at the end of each term.
In addition to research duties, our fellows will be actively involved in MFI programming. This includes assisting with essay contests, promoting and planning events, and attending all MFI-sponsored events. Fellows will also be required to attend our monthly MFI meetings.
Our 2025–2026 student fellows—Grace, Khang and Joshua—presented their current research findings during the Visionary Ventures poster session at this year’s Entrepreneurship Research Conference.
