Haitham Kanakri

Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering

I think IUPUI is unique especially when it comes to research diversity and a collaborative environment. I get to work with different research groups with different backgrounds which has given me a unique research experience.

Kartik Nemani

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

I like the serenity here. The campus is great, downtown museum, the state park, or the library are great places where you can spend some time with yourself.

Viraj D. Gandhi

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

As a motorsports lover, I couldn’t have picked a better city than the one that hosts the Indy 500. The city is also very green, I enjoy biking on the Eagle Creek Trail, canal, and even in the downtown area.

Brian Wyatt

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

Indianapolis is a great mid-size city to live in as it has many of the big-city vibes of sports, night life, and city-wide events without the traffic, long commutes, or giant crowds.

Harry Chaubey

Ph.D. in Music Technology

The Ph.D. I am enrolled in is not offered at many universities across the country, and I have always wanted to pursue my research away from a fast-paced city hence IUPUI gave me that headspace and opportunity for my research to come out in a much more effective and fruitful manner.

Dione Reynolds

I chose graduate school at IUPUI because the university offered a welcoming and supportive environment. The faculty and staff really believe in the students.

Landan Mintch

M.S. in Biomedical Engineering

I really enjoy being able to ride my bike into work. While the weather is not always ideal, the bike-friendly roads make the commute a breeze. If you have not had the chance to hop on the Monon Trail for a ride or a jog, I highly recommend it! I also like taking my kayaks out with friends to appreciate all the fascinating nature Indianapolis and the surrounding areas have to offer.

Sajjad Raeisi

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

Indianapolis has most everything that a major city would have. Indeed, it is a major city with almost all the benefits of a small town.

Nazmuzzaman Khan

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

This city is big enough to find people and food from my native country, Bangladesh. Also, it’s somehow small enough to not feel lost in a big city!

Meet Nazmuzzaman

Dan Shen

Ph. D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering

The combined graduate program between Purdue University West Lafayette and IUPUI and the wide range of research opportunities on automotive safety were the two main reasons to pursue my PhD degree at IUPUI.

Meet Dan

Mohammed Ebrahim Feyz

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

The joint graduate program between IUPUI and Purdue University was my strongest motivation to join IUPUI.

Meet Mohammed

Alan Tyson II

Ph.D. in Music Technology

I am particularly interested in developing software that integrates math and music in a way that can be used within the grade school educational platform.

Meet Alan

Durvesh Pathak

M.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering - Alumnus

I chose IUPUI due to its strong engineering programs and the vast research and scholarship opportunities available. IUPUI's affiliation with Purdue University for these programs was also a very key factor that helped me make the decision.

Meet Durvesh

Setu Shah

M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Alumnus

Indianapolis strikes the perfect balance of a city that feels more like a big town. There is something for everyone, and you are never far away from a place. I relish the pleasant weather and the outdoor spaces.
