Samantha Hou Service Design Researcher, ServiceTitan
My current research revolves around the computational analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 genome (which causes COVID-19). Coding, teamwork, and project management skills have helped me the most to create successful projects. I learned all of these skills through the Informatics program.
Dwight Hall Doctoral student, Bioinformatics, IUPUI
I rely heavily on my ability to empathize with professionals across fields and build bridges to get work done. SoIC's focus on applying a wide range of technology to real-world problems has translated very well into my work today.
Marc Jones IT Analyst, Eli Lilly and Co.
The Informatics curriculum inspired me to pursue the "why" behind my love for technology: people. Without SoIC and the Informatics program, I would not have the confidence, technical capabilities, or user-centered thinking that allows me to be successful in the workforce.

The Informatics program made me job-ready because it helped to bridge the learning gaps between the industrial and academia.
