Dr. Mahasweta Sarkar Awarded the Fulbright Fellowship

Dr. Sarkar, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been awarded a fellowship under the Fulbright Specialist program, established by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). This program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions. Fulbright Specialists, who represent a wide range of professional and academic disciplines, are competitively selected to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster based on their knowledge, skill sets, and ability to make a significant contribution to projects in foreign host institutions in over 150 countries. Once abroad, Specialists partner with their host institution to conduct project activities in support of the host institution’s priorities and goals. Dr. Sarkar’s Fulbright fellowship will commence in Fall 2021 and will span three academic years.
