Members of our diaspora never fail to inspire. In the first part of our series profiling the diverse array of diaspora members, we highlight Thomas Kailath.

Kailath is a distinguished engineering professor, scholar, and entrepreneur. Among his many awards is a National Medal of Science, a IEEE Medal of Honor, and a Padma Bhushan.

Though based in the US for 60+ years, his love for India and its community is still strong.
