Akshay Kumar Rathore: “When I engage with industry and conduct academic research to solve an industry problem, other ideas arise that I consistently pursue and document.”
The achievement is significant for the now 41-year-old, who became the youngest Concordian to receive the coveted distinction. The institute also usually prefers to elevate full professors to the fellowship.
For electrical engineers, becoming a fellow of the IEEE is the ultimate career accomplishment, typically bestowed upon seasoned professionals. It is a global recognition of the extraordinary career accomplishments that have made an impact on society.
