Young Scholar Award recipient

“I am humbled and honored to be chosen for the Paul Baran Young Scholar Award. It is easier to be known in your own area, but the fact that my work in circuits translates to broader audiences in the communications arena makes me very proud. It gives me assurance that I’m moving in the right direction.”
