Bhattacharyya Selected for Fulbright Grant

Professor Shuvra Bhattacharyya (ECE/UMIACS) has been selected for a Fulbright Senior Specialists Grant at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria. The grant will provide support for Bhattacharyya to provide advice on a new Masters Program that the university is developing in Embedded Signal Processing.

Founded by the U.S. government in 1946, Fulbright grants are awarded on behalf of the J.
