Thomas Kailath -- Winner of The 2007 IEEE Medal of Honor

Today, I read about Thomas Kailath in IEEE spectrum, May 2007. He is the first indian-born to get a doctorate from "The farm" aka Stanford. The most important thing I liked about him is -- he did research in different fields like Information theory, antenna propagation, Controls, VLSI, semiconductor manufacturing and now biotechnology. He seems to me like Leonardo Da Vinci. He took a decade to master each field, leave his mark in that field, and move on to other field. Great scientists in olden days also worked in a similar manner. This is quite normal because no field or subject grasped their attention to that extent making them stick to it. I would love to be like them. What about you?
