Vasuki Narasimha Swamy named 2019 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar
Graduate student Vasuki Narasimha Swamy (advisor: Anant Sahai) has been recognized as a 2019 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar for her work designing robust wireless protocol frameworks for ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). Paul Baran Young Scholarships, which are awarded to just a handful of young researchers throughout the world every year, recognize those who have demonstrated “exceptional capability and potential.” In addition to her innovations to URLLC networks, Swamy helped to co-found BiasBusters, an organization that addresses implicit bias issues in the EECS department. The mission of the Marconi Society is to “inspire innovations in the Internet and communications that benefit humankind.”
