Nicole Corcoran
PhD student, Industrial and Systems Engineering
“As an Industrial and Systems Engineering graduate student, I get to apply my knowledge across various domains: from studying human factors to statistical modeling; or from autonomous vehicle research to water sustainability in rural India. All of this is made possible by the dynamic, collaborative, and innovative research initiatives here at Iowa.”
