Ph.D. student Alex Krasnov (right) updates Josie Ammer Bolotski (Ph.D.’04 EECS) on the latest at Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) during the center’s 10-year anniversary festivities in February. The BWRC opened in 1999 to support pioneering academic-government-industry collaborative research on cell phones and other wireless technologies. Krasnov, who is working on Blue Field, a spatial audio project, occupies Bolotski’s old workspace. Bolotski, now a senior staff engineer at Qualcomm’s Massachusetts office, flew in to speak at the event, describing the BWRC as “hands down, the best place to be a graduate student.” http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu
