Two University of Wisconsin-Madison engineering alumni have been named as two of Popular Science magazineâ??s “Brilliant 10” shaking up science today.
J. Adam Wilson has been tabbed by the magazine as a genius for his work in brain-computer interface technology. He demonstrated the technology when he posted a Twitter update by thought. Wilson earned his doctorate in biomedical engineering from UW-Madison in May. He is now doing research in New York.
Dennis Hong, an associate professor in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, is on the “Brilliant 10” list for his work in robotics. Hong got his bachelorâ??s degree in mechanical engineering from UW-Madison in 1994.
