After graduating with his undergraduate degree, Novich returned to Rice University in the fall of 2007 to begin his second Bachelor's degree and Master's degree. Novich also obtained an additional Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering specializing specifically in signals and systems in 2008. He then finished his Master's in electrical engineering with a specialization in wireless communications in 2010.
Novich returned to Rice University in the fall of 2010, after graduating with his Master's to begin his Ph.D. in electrical and computing engineering. His graduating thesis focused on sensory augmentation using sound-to-touch substitution. His thesis would later become the framework for his company NeoSensory.
