For his PhD at Stanford, 28-year-old Electrical engineer Dinesh Bharadia decided he was not going to choose a problem that was "trivial". So he settled in on something that had stumped scientists for 150 years - how to turn radio communication two-way. And he did it in just a couple of years, by creating a 'full duplex radio'. For this, Bharadia, a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who grew up in Kolhapur and graduated from IIT-Kanpur, has been awarded the prestigious 2016 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award, which he will receive at a ceremony at the Computer History Museum in California on November 2.
The award is named after Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio, known for his work on long-distance radio transmission. Ironically, Marconi couldn't solve the problem of duplexing. In a telephonic interview to TOI from his home in Cambridge, Masachusetts, Bharadia said what he had designed was self-interference cancellation technology, which means it would now be possible for a radio to receive and transmit on one frequency band.
