The Feuer International Scholarship in AI
PhD scholarships supporting the future of AI research
The Feuer International Scholarships in Artificial Intelligence are prestigious and highly competitive PhD scholarships. Funded by successful Warwick alumnus Jonathan Feuer, they were established to create a group of extremely talented, academically brilliant, world-leading young researchers with potentially world-changing ideas in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
The scholarship programme has become part of the University’s internationally recognised Cyber Security research group. If you're awarded a Feuer PhD Scholarship, you'll have the chance to work alongside Warwick’s top researchers, who are some of the world’s sharpest minds and many of whom hold fellowships at the Alan Turing Institute in London.
In January 2026, our new Feuer scholar Joshua Caplan joined Warwick. Having previously studied Computer Science at Cornell University, his thesis will focus on securing AI systems against adversarial attacks.
“I am a curious learner interested in understanding how AI can be made safer and more secure in real-world systems. I was elated to receive my offer. Not only do I get to go abroad and expand my international network, but I get to do it while pursuing research that I'm passionate about. The Feuer Scholarship allows me to achieve the highest level of education at an elite university."
Joshua Caplan, Feuer International Scholar in Artificial Intelligence
"Prior to beginning my PhD, I studied for an undergraduate degree in Data Science at Warwick. This exposed me to potential collaborations with forward-thinking statisticians, computer scientists, mathematicians and other academics, which is something the Feuer Scholarship also highlights as integral to its purpose. I worked alongside the Alan Turing Institute in the summer of 2019 on impactful data science projects, and hope to continue this work leveraging Warwick’s strong inter-disciplinary academic links, and the Turing’s network of excellent universities and inspiring academics. The Feuer Scholarship has empowered me to pursue this work in applications of statistics and computer science to societal issues, as well as contribute to the ethical and transparent development of cutting edge machine learning techniques."
Harry Wilde, Feuer International Scholar in Artificial Intelligence
"The Feuer International Scholarship in AI caught my attention while I was exploring PhD research opportunities. I was already keen to pursue my PhD at Warwick because the Computer Science department is world-renowned for its innovative AI research. I have chosen to start my career with a research focus rather than moving straight into a traditional Computer Science employment role, as I very much want to make a contribution to advancements in my fields of interest. My firm aspirations are to contribute new methods and models to the field of AI research, to engage with the relevant worldwide research communities, and to help create practical AI-based solutions to real-world problems."
Joe Oakley, Feuer International Scholar in Artificial Intelligence
I studied Machine Learning and Data Science during my undergraduate and master’s years, mainly focusing on AI for medical imaging. Since joining Warwick in September 2024, I am investigating how audio watermarking can solve the problem of copyright infringement in publishing. Founding a startup with friends, I was selected as part of the Techstars Ohio program, one of the largest startup accelerators in the US.
Linxi Li, Feuer International Scholar in Artificial Intelligence
“We’re seeking out the best talent to work on trustworthy and resilient AI projects that will transform society in all areas, from healthcare to the arts. I can’t wait to meet students interested in pursuing this incredible opportunity.”
Professor Carsten Maple, Pro Vice Chancellor for North America and Cyber Security expert at WMG

AI at Warwick
Warwick is a leader in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data research, with academics across the university working on AI, including those in Warwick Manufacturing Group, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Mathematics, the School of Engineering, the Faculties of Science and Social Sciences, Warwick Business School and Warwick Medical School and.
This work thrives on the foundations of our expertise in computer sciences, statistics and mathematics, which adds value to interdisciplinary projects. Some of our research projects are part of our activities as a founding partner at the Alan Turing Institute in London.
Cyber Security at Warwick
Warwick has a long history of undertaking research in cyber security and is recognised as an NCSC-EPSRC Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR). Today, cyber security at the University spans many departments and is coordinated through the Cyber Security Global Research Priority (GRP). The ACE-CSR brings world-renowned academics from many disciplines together to address a broad range of cyber security challenges.
Our aim is to be a world-leading, single institution, multidisciplinary research group for cyber security and to create new knowledge and understanding that will improve cyber security through active partnership with key stakeholders, and have national and international impact.
The Alan Turing Institute
We are a founding partner of the Alan Turing Institute, the national institute for data science, with headquarters at the British Library.
Research at Warwick enhances and is enhanced by our relationship with the Alan Turing Institute, forging interdisciplinary links across departments and between institutes with expertise in data science. Through this research we contribute to advancements in engineering, technology, defence and security, smarter cities, financial services, health and wellbeing.
