Erik Jonsson Graduate Scholarship In Computer Science Recipients
ENDOWMENT HISTORY AND PURPOSE:
The Erik Jonsson Graduate Scholarship in Computer Science was established in 2018 to benefit the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (Jonsson School) at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas). Funds distributed from this endowment shall be used as a graduate scholarship to attract the world’s top scholars in computer science. The endowment will provide one-year graduate scholarships to incoming master’s students who have not received a teaching or research assistantship.
ERIK JONSSON GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN COMPUTER SCIENCE RECIPIENTS:
The following students will receive a $1000 scholarship funded by this endowment. All of them have GRE scores high enough to be admitted into the PhD program. Due to this scholarship, the students will receive an out-of-state tuition waiver. The savings in tuition will lead to a smaller student debt, and increase the likelihood of the students considering a future enrollment in the PhD program.

Navaneeth Kumar Buddi
“I graduated with a computer science degree from GITAM university, India, in 2020. Then I worked as a Full stack developer for 2 years in one of the fortune 500 companies. I have never restricted myself to academics. I actively participate in hackathons to make myself better at problem-solving. I won a national-level hackathon, Virtusa neural hack season 3(Full-stack), competing with 30,000+ engineering students. I have also won various inter-college and intra-college hackathons. In the future, I hope to be a principal architect for software development, which necessitates a strong computer science foundation, which led me to pursue a master’s degree in computer science from The University of Texas at Dallas.”
Savyasachi Gupta
“I am Savyasachi Gupta, a Computer Science graduate student at The University of Texas at Dallas with an interest in developing innovative Computer Vision based solutions for smart cities. I also do Software Development and explore various avenues in the field of Machine Learning in my spare time. Prior to pursuing my Master’s, I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Warangal, one of India’s premier universities. For the past two years, I was a Software Engineer at Visa Inc., where I worked on automating the applications used by agents at Visa Contact Centers that handle over 100k calls every week, saving thousands of man-hours. Post completion of my Master’s,I aspire to bolster my zeal for developing next-gen solutions that solve common problems that mankind is facing by leveraging Computer Vision.”
Shubham Shekhar Jha
“I completed my B.Tech degree at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, in Metallurgical Engineering. During my undergraduate, I was more interested in computer science than my major, so I learned programming basics and took CS elective courses. After graduating in 2018, I worked as a software developer for four years in India. I worked in IoT and e-Commerce domains. My primary interests are computer architecture and distributed systems. I intend to complete my MS degree with a Systems concentration. My long-term career goal is to be a System Architect“
Vatsal Kishorbhai Mavani
“I am Vatsal Mavani. I have completed my Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology with a 3.9 GPA. My primary interest is Machine Learning and Data Science which involves advancing the task by making use of a vast amount of available or real-time data. So far, I have worked on various Computer Vision and Natural Language Understanding tasks like 3D Brain tumor segmentation, Image generation based on user-given text queries, etc. I also have gained industrial exposure for 6 months from 500 fortunate Tech Mahindra Ltd. and currently pursuing a master’s in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas. After that, I want to make a successful career as a Data Scientist and Analyst.
