The news item discusses about technical genius of IT-alumni, Mr. Rambabu Karumudi, M.Tech. (Microwave Engineering1996).
Excerpts from the article:
Rambabu Karumudi has come a long way from the small 30-house village in India where he grew up to win this year’s Governor General’s Gold medal as the top graduate student in the faculty of graduate studies.
After earning a bachelor’s degree from Nagarjuna University and a master’s from Banaras Hindu University, Rambabu came to UVic to work with Dr. Jens Bornemann, an international leader in the field of microwave engineering.
For his dissertation research, Rambabu created design procedures that will greatly streamline the development of microwave components used in applications as far-flung as cell phones to air traffic control radar to wireless Internet communications.
