New IEEE Medal to honor the late Jagadish Chandra Bose

Very exciting news! India-born American physicist, philanthropist, and laser technology pioneer Mani Bhaumik has generously funded a new IEEE medal in perpetuity and was featured in The Times of India. 

The Jagadish Chandra (J.C.) Bose Medal in Wireless Communications recognizes those contributions to wireless communications technologies that have had a global impact. J.C. Bose publicly demonstrated wireless transmission of electromagnetic waves for the first time ever in 1895. He also is renowned for inventing the detector for wireless telegraphy. You can learn more about J.C. Bose in his ETHW biography

The new medal was announced by 2023 IEEE President and CEO Saifur Rahman at a congressional reception on 12 Jan at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington DC, USA. It will be first awarded beginning in 2025.
