Meet Nandini Kodipunzula '24, a graduate of Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering, where she earned her M.S. in Computer Engineering. Coming from a non-CS undergraduate background and with industry experience at Freshworks, Nandini intentionally chose to pursue graduate school at SCU — driven by a desire to deeply understand the “why” behind architectural decisions.
The Santa Clara University School of Engineering welcomed students, faculty, industry professionals, alumni, and families for its 8th Annual Research Showcase, an evening dedicated to celebrating innovation, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Meet Dishant Hirpara, a graduate student in Computer Science and Engineering at Santa Clara University's School of Engineering, whose summer internships through the Miller Center for Global Impact showcase how technical skills can drive meaningful change across borders.
