Negar Reiskarimian, a PhD candidate working with Harish Krishnaswamy, associate professor of electrical engineering, has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for her work on building the first miniaturized microchip capable of full-duplex wireless with a single antenna: it sends and receives at the same time, at the same frequency. This achievement could double WiFi capabilities for chips at less than half the size of current models. As Forbes notes, “This has lots of applications for smartphones, internet of things, and more.” She joins 29 other young scientists who are “inventing the future from the atom up.” Earlier this year she won the prestigious Paul Baran Young Scholar Award[HCE1] from the Marconi Society.
