Students & industry

Work on consequential problems.

IVM brings students, researchers, and practitioners together where information complexity meets real decisions.

01For students

Develop research with intellectual depth and practical relevance.

Students work across disciplinary boundaries—construction, computing, visualization, analytics, and human-centered design—while developing the rigor to communicate and publish their findings.

Graduate research and dissertation mentorship
Independent studies and directed projects
Applied BIM, AI, visualization, and digital-twin research
Interdisciplinary collaboration across Purdue
Conference papers, journal articles, and prototypes

Introduce yourself

02For industry

Translate operational complexity into researchable questions.

IVM collaborates with organizations that want to examine a problem—not simply promote a product. Engagements can connect field knowledge, information systems, emerging technologies, and student learning.

Sponsored and collaborative research
Technology evaluation and pilot studies
Applied information-management problems
Construction visualization and decision-support systems
Guest engagement, datasets, and student project sponsorship
