Vikram Iyer named 2020 Marconi Society Young Scholar

EECS alumnus Vikram Iyer (B.S. ’15) has won a Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award, which honors “the world’s most innovative young engineers in Information and Communications Technology (ICT).” Iyer’s research focusses on bio-inspired and bio-integrative wireless sensor systems that enable traditionally stationary Internet of Things (IoT) devices to move, “putting a new and scalable category of data collectors into the world to help us understand our environment at scale and with a fine degree of detail.”  When Iyer was a student at Berkeley, he was a TA for EE16A and an undergraduate researcher for Prof. Bernhard Boser.  He is now a graduate student at the University of Washington.
