"My years at M-ITI were formative ones. My experience with the MHCI provided core skills in teaching and managing academic programs that remain invaluable to me today. The research network available within M-ITI, and via its connection to CMU, is exceptional and has proven long-lasting. The time I spent at M-ITI was instrumental to my development as a researcher and, more broadly, as a well-rounded faculty member."

"M-ITI trained me in the end-to-end design process and research methodologies, taught me how to collaborate with a diverse team of aspiring designers, and gave me the opportunity to travel all over Europe to gain a fresh new perspective on design. I'm very grateful for the time I invested in my program, in my career, and most importantly, myself."

"M-ITI’s approach of the [MHCI] capstone project, as well as it’s engagement with the capstone projects sponsors, were instrumental in both helping us come up with the early idea which led to our business and encouraging us to pursue it as the program was coming to an end. M-ITI also set the right foundation in place to ensure we had the rights and access to the intellectual property from our studies to be able to turn it into a business. The teacher, environment and project-focused curriculum approach were all valuable contributors to give us the freedom, confidence and opportunity to turn our ideas into a business."
Eugene Danilkis - Mambu, Germany (2018).
