(Press-News.org) The Hertz Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering the nation’s most promising innovators, and Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global semiconductor leader, have announced a new partnership to drive the next generation of scientific leadership in analog, digital, and software technology solutions.
Through the Hertz Fellowship – the nation’s most prestigious doctoral fellowship – and its influential network of 1,300 Hertz Fellows, the Hertz Foundation has been at the forefront of advancing science and technology for more than 60 years. Hertz Fellows are responsible for some of the most significant progress of the past century, from the recent launch of the James Webb Space Telescope to the development of global defense networks, to advanced medical therapies and computational systems that billions of people use every day.
ADI will provide financial support for a distinguished individual in the 2025 class of Hertz Fellows, announced in May 2025. The Analog Devices-Hertz Fellowship will provide the recipient with unique opportunities to present their doctoral research to company leadership and gain insights into the company’s work within a broad range of technologies from integrated circuits to AI, applied across healthcare, industrial, healthcare, aerospace, and consumer products.
In addition, Hertz Fellows will have the opportunity to apply for an annual internship at ADI, offering valuable industry experience and resources needed to advance both their research and careers after completing their doctoral research.
“ADI is proud to support this cutting-edge research and the innovative spirit of Hertz Fellows as we pursue our shared vision of enriching lives and the world around us,” said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at ADI.
“We are thrilled to partner with ADI to further our goal of funding more Hertz Fellows and supporting them with the best possible experiences,” said Wendy Connors, Hertz Foundation President. “By connecting Hertz Fellows with ADI’s pioneering technology and expertise, we are creating invaluable opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and leadership in science and technology.”
ADI representatives will also have the opportunity to participate in key Hertz Foundation events and networking activities. This includes the 2025 Hertz Summer Workshop taking place July 17-20 in Colorado Springs, a signature event for the Hertz community and one-of-a-kind gathering of some of the top scientists, entrepreneurs and leaders in our nation’s science and technology enterprise.
“The community of Hertz Fellows is a uniquely talented group of graduate students motivated to tackle today’s most exciting and challenging problems. It’s exciting to support their research and combine efforts as we work towards solving problems of joint interest,” said Sam Fuller, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Emeritus at ADI and a member of the Hertz Foundation Board of Directors. Fuller earned his PhD in electrical engineering at Stanford University during his Hertz Fellowship.
In addition to Fuller, multiple Hertz Fellows have worked at ADI during their careers, including Kenneth Lisiak, External Foundry Director at ADI, and Edward Frank, member of the ADI Board of Directors.
To enhance the Hertz Fellowship experience, in recent years the Hertz Foundation has formed a growing list of partnerships with influential organizations in science, technology, national security, and philanthropy. Recent partnerships include Breakthrough Energy Discovery, Gates Foundation, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group, among other organizations.

Would you hand over your health data if it meant better care?
2025-06-03
Despite growing concerns about data privacy, new research from the University of South Australia shows that most people are happy to hand over their health information if it could help improve their care.
In a new global study, UniSA researchers found that 94% of people who use wearable activity trackers – such as Fitbits, Garmins, as well as Samsung or Apple Watches – are open to sharing data with their healthcare providers.
Of these respondents, 47% of people had already discussed their data with their healthcare provider, ...
Study examines how well wearable tech tracks fitness metrics
2025-06-03
OXFORD, Miss. – Many Americans rely on their Apple Watches or similar devices each day to count their steps, track workouts, and measure how many calories they burn. But are those wearable devices accurate?
University of Mississippi professor Minsoo Kang and doctoral student Ju-Pil Choe are working to answer that question.
Kang, a professor of sport analytics, and Choe reviewed 56 studies that compared the Apple Watch to trusted reference tools in measuring energy burned, heart rate and step counts.

Dr. Nikolaos Koundouros wins 2025 Tri-Institutional Breakout Award
2025-06-03
Dr. Nikolaos Koundouros, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a 2025 Tri-Institutional Breakout Award for Junior Investigators.
Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University present the awards to up to six exceptional investigators each year—at least one from each institution—who are recognized for their notable research achievements, impactful findings and high potential for success as independent investigators. ...
Low vs. High blood pressure avoidance in non-cardiac surgery: Neurocognitive outcomes unchanged
2025-06-03
A large international study has found that two different approaches to managing blood pressure in older adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery, one avoiding low blood pressure (hypotension) and the other high blood pressure (hypertension), lead to similar outcomes in terms of in-hospital delirium and cognitive changes one year after surgery.
The findings were published on June 3 in Annals of Internal Medicine.
The randomized controlled trial, a substudy of the POISE-3 trial, included 2,603 patients across 54 centres in 19 countries undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Participants were 70 years old on ...
Telehealth can improve care for cats with chronic health issues
2025-06-03
Caring for a cat with chronic health conditions can be challenging for all involved, from the process of getting to a veterinary clinic to the stress of being in a strange environment with new smells and animals.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, worked with pet owners across the United States and Canada to determine whether video telehealth visits could help improve care and the home environment for cats with feline degenerative joint disease, commonly referred to as feline arthritis.
The findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science, show that video calls where pet owners can ask questions and get non-medical ...
Researchers develop innovative model to study sense of smell
2025-06-03
Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) and colleagues have discovered that one type of stem cell thought to be dormant may play a more significant role in preserving the sense of smell than originally believed.
Unlike cells in the central nervous system, sensory neurons in the nasal cavity have a remarkable ability to regenerate throughout life despite near constant exposure to the outside ...

Wang-Claypool, Ammon Corl, Joseph Jones, Jimmy A. McGuire, Rauri C.K. Bowie and Robert Dudley investigated whether birds that eat sugar-rich foods—like fruit and nectar—might regularly consume alcohol produced by natural fermentation. ...
Collaboration can unlock Australia’s energy transition without sacrificing natural capital
2025-06-03
Decarbonizing Australia’s economy and protecting the country’s most critical natural resources are both possible but will require significant collaboration between energy developers, state and local governments, landowners, and interest groups, according to new research led by Princeton and The University of Queensland.
The research, published May 29 in Nature Sustainability, demonstrates that Australia can fully decarbonize its domestic and energy export economies by 2060 while avoiding harm to important areas for biodiversity outcomes, safeguarding agricultural activities, and respecting Indigenous land rights.
