About Dr. Sharma

A native of New Delhi, India, Dr. Sharma received a bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Delhi in 1957. He also earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India. While working as a Senior Science Fellow at the National Physics Laboratory on microwave technology, he decided to seek a PhD. Although accepted by both Harvard and MIT, he chose to attend the University of Minnesota where he earned a master’s of science in Electrical Engineering and a PhD.

In 1970, he sold his first acoustic coupler and Multi-Tech Systems was launched. By 1978, sales reached over one million dollars.

Scholarships will be awarded annually to two local high school students. Qualified recipients will be high school seniors (from pre-selected public high schools) who intend to go to an accredited four-year college to pursue a degree in technology or engineering.

The first scholarships will be awarded in the spring of 2008.
