Accelerating Discovery: Killam Accelerator Research Fellowship Lectures

Portraits, top row: Jeanine Rhentulla, Ali Mesbah, Sara Milstein, bottom row: Jonathan Little, Katherine Ryan, Leonid Segal

Each year, UBC’s Killam Accelerator Research Fellowships (KARF) support six exceptional early career researchers to pursue research projects with the potential for significant impact in their field of study.

Join us over two special events to hear how the inaugural cohort of KARF recipients, funded in 2020, have advanced their research and scholarship.

Lectures cover a diverse range of areas: from biblical studies to software engineering; from molecular construction to computer vision; and from forest restoration to understanding the role of chronic inflammation in health conditions and aging.
