Loganathan was the professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He had received the Dean’s award for Excellence in Teaching in 1998.
Minal Panchal a 26 year old Indian Student was also one of the 33 killed at Virginia Tech.
Quoting NDTV.com
Called 'Minu' by her friends, 26-year-old Minal Panchal went to Our Lady Of Remedy High School in Mumbai and later graduated from the Rizvi college of Architecture in Bandra, Mumbai.

She was very sensitive student, very hardwoking and sincere. But most importantly, she was a highly cultural and refined person; very soft spoken and very sensitive.

She was a very promising young architect. She was concerned by humane issues, cultural values and one of the rare students who was committed to sustainable architecture. We'll really miss her tremendously, said Professor Chauhan, Principal, Rizvi College of Architecture.
