Fellows
BQI Fellowships are designed to support fundamental research at the boundaries of human knowledge. The Fellowships fund early and mid-career researchers to develop lines of inquiry that aim to reveal as-yet-undiscovered theories about the physical universe, the origins of life and the science of consciousness. The focus is on research addressing the Big Questions, such as “What is dark energy and dark matter?”, “How did life begin?”, “Is there life on Mars?”, “What is consciousness”, “Will machines become sentient?”
