\u201cMy father made continual sacrifices that enabled me to become the person I am today,\u201d said Shobana Radhakrishnan, senior director of engineering at Google\u2019s Android TV in the United States.<\/strong> \u201cWithout him, I would not have been able to come to the US and launch a career in tech,\u201d she added. Instead of flying high on the wings of her fulfilled American Dream, Indian American Shobana is passing on the value of her father\u2019s sacrifices to her teenage children, international students, and women in STEM.<\/p>\n In a tribute to her father, SS Radhakrishnan, Shobana instituted a scholarship in 202o for students in engineering and computer science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The SS Radhakrishnan Scholarship provides international students much-needed support to overcome financial hurdles on their way to chase academic dreams in STEM.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
