Meet Zahra Rizvi from India for this week’s #humansofoiss! Zahra grew up in Delhi, India. She did her undergraduate and Master’s studies at Delhi University, and she is doing her Ph.D. in the English Department at Jamia Millia Islamia. She was able to get the Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Grant to conduct research here at Yale, where she can focus on finishing her thesis.

This week, I interviewed Mattia Vezzoli from Italy. He is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering.
.
Mattia was born in Desenzano del Garda and did his engineering studies at Universita degli studi di Brescia for his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. While he was writing his thesis during his Master’s, he was offered an internship opportunity at Yale and he spent six months working as a research assistant. After returning to Italy and working for two years there, Mattia decided to come back to Yale and continue his scientific career as a PhD student.
