Every year, we award a new and diverse cohort of promising young engineers with the prestigious Paul Baran Young Scholar Award. These leaders represent the bright future of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and have already shown technical excellence, creativity and a commitment to designing technology solutions that will enhance digital inclusion.
Our 2020 Young Scholars reflect the breadth of ICT and the boundless possibilities it contains. Yasaman Ghasempour’s research on wireless communication and sensing will let people easily and economically use new ultra high-speed wireless networks everywhere, and promises more efficient data management and improved signal mobility adaptation. Vikram Iyer’s innovations in bio-integrative wireless technology enable new applications for IoT devices. Piotr Roztocki’s research in quantum photonics represents a groundbreaking step in bringing far higher levels of security into existing communications infrastructure.
By winning the Young Scholar Award, these young researchers join a vibrant community of thoughtful technologists who embody the spirit of innovation and public service. We are honored to celebrate their work and count them among us.
Through programs like the Paul Baran Young Scholar Award, the Marconi Society invests in the engineers who will shape our future. By supporting us, you help us connect young students with experienced mentors, provide data-driven insights to technologists and policymakers, advocate for a more accessible, secure, and equitable network, and more. Join us in this vital work by making a gift to the Marconi Society today.
