People Netravali gets US Tech award Our Bureau
BANGALORE: Dr Arun Netravali, former president of Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs and now chief scientist at Lucent, has been selected as one of the recipients of the U.S. National Medal of Technology this year. Mr Netravali was cited for his ``pioneering contributions that transformed TV from analog to digital, enabling numerous integrated circuits, systems and services in broadcast TV, CATV, DBS, HDTV, and mult-imedia over the Internet; and for technical expertise and leadership, which have kept Bell Labs at the forefront in communications technology,'' said a press release. The National Medal of Technology recognises men and women who embody the spirit of American innovation and have advanced the nation's global competitiveness. The medal, the nation's highest honour for achievement in technology, recognises groundbreaking contributions that help commercialise technologies, create jobs, improve productivity and stimulate the nation's growth and development. The US President will present the medals at a ceremony later this year at the White House.
