I cannot believe that soon it will end. I want to thank my family, friends and my significant other for their support and love without which I would never be able to be here. Big thanks to U of U for all incredible people that I have met during this journey!

Thought I'd never make it here. Go Cougars!

To my advisor, collaborators, and labmates—thank you for your guidance, encouragement, and inspiring discussions. To my friends and family—thank you for always believing in me, even from thousands of miles away. Your support has meant the world to me.

I walked past this monitor in WEB for years, feeling like the time for me to say something was some arbitrary point in the future that might never come to pass. It has! Keep working hard, you’re doing great! You will pass the class and you will complete your degree!

Grateful for the journey, the challenges, and the incredible people who made it unforgettable. To my husband, parents, and brother—your love and support mean everything. To my friends and classmates—thank you for all the memories at the U!

After years of hard work, late nights, and maybe a little too much caffeine… I’m officially Dr. Prattay Deepta Kairy! Big thanks to my incredible family and friends for their love and support— couldn’t have done it without you (and I promise I’m done writing papers… for……

Time truly flew by at U! I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from KSoC professors and the friends who made every day easier. I'm grateful to U for the assistantships and the lifelong memories. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

Finally, comes the day we all dreamed of which is graduation day. Thank you to my mentors, advisors, and instructors. I wish success to my peers! Many thanks to my amazing wife, and my handsome Asher for their patience and sacrifice while I complete the bachelor in engineering.

School is finally over! I thank all of my family, friends, and mentors for believing in me more than I did in myself. I appreciate everyone for hearing me out no matter how tough life got. Thank you very much for your support and advice. I could not have made it here without…

I didn't think this day would come when it was time to say goodbye to the U of U. This has been the experience of a lifetime to grow, learn and meet so many good friends from around the globe, as far as Persia and China. It was often challenging but always worth it.

I am so incredibly proud of all my friends for everything we've accomplished together, and even more thankful to have had them with me for the ride. I'm beyond grateful, beyond proud, to call them my friends. WE ARE THE SURVIVORS. WE ARE THE ELITE. I'm gonna miss yall so much!……

Thank you to my loved ones, friends, teachers, and mentors for all their love and support in getting here! I couldn’t have done it without you. Your encouragement, guidance, and belief in me made all the difference—this accomplishment is just as much yours as it is mine.

To my family, friends, colleagues, and every person who kept me going, this doctoral degree is dedicated to all of you. Thank you for always believing in me.

I didn't think the moment would come where I take my final steps and say goodbye to home. Over the course of a 5 year journey, I have made lots of memories, and cherish everyone of them. Thank you all for being here to support me, my husband, and our future.

I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and the incredible professors I've met at the U — your love, encouragement, and belief in me have made this moment possible.

Thank you to the endless support from my family! And shoutout to the FuTURES3 Research Group with Dr. Nagy!

I am excited to be moving onto the next part of my life. I cant thank my family, my friends, and my professors enough for giving me the drive to keep going. As my dad would say, "Do good work", and I intend to continue that in my professional life. See ya later and SKO UTES!

Came to Utah for a degree, stayed for the hikes, hot chocolate, and accidental adulthood. I laughed a lot, learned even more, had late-night pep talks (thanks fam!), and maybe too many instant noodles. Forever grateful to my people for keeping me steady and cheering me on!

It was a big decision to move across the world to pursue my PhD studies. I had my share of ups and downs in this journey, but in the end, it was all worth it. I am grateful to have the support of my loved ones, which led me to this proud moment. Always believe in yourself!
