What you’ll learn
The HCI Ph.D. program at IU Indianapolis offers a world-class education focused on human-centered research and innovation. Students build a strong foundation in Human-Computer Interaction while pursuing independent research on topics such as accessible technology for the visually impaired, design solutions for health and sustainability, the impact of social media on knowledge sharing, scientific collaboration systems, gesture-based tools for cultural learning, and data visualization for complex information.
Conduct interdisciplinary research across computing, health, communication, and the social sciences. Investigate how social media influences knowledge, turn big data into meaningful visualizations, and design technologies that address real-world issues like food insecurity and sustainability.
