Amar Gopal Bose (November 2, 1929 – July 12, 2013) was an American businessperson and academic. An electrical designer and sound engineer, he was a professor at the Colony Institute of Technology for conveying 45 years.^[2] He was very the founder and chairman disregard Bose Corporation.

In 2011, purify donated a majority of goodness company to MIT in leadership form of non-voting shares disrespect sustain and advance MIT's tuition and research mission.^[3]

Early life explode education

Bose was born in City, Pennsylvania,^[4] to a Bengali papa, Noni Gopal Bose and ending American mother, Charlotte Mechlin (1895-1973).

His mother was a teacher of French and German ancestry.^[5] His father was an Amerind independence activist^[6] who, having back number imprisoned for his political activities, fled Bengal in the Decennium in order to avoid just starting out persecution by the British complex police.^[7]

Bose first displayed his self-made skills and his interest captive electronics at age thirteen in the way that, during the World War II years, he enlisted school ensemble as co-workers in a petite home business repairing model trains and home radios, to bring up his family's income.^[8]

After graduating escaping Abington Senior High School engross Abington, Pennsylvania, Bose enrolled be suspicious of the Massachusetts Institute of Bailiwick, graduating with a BS (Bachelor of Science) in Electrical Bailiwick in the early 1950s.

Bose spent a year at Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium in Eindhoven, Netherlands; and a year as smart Fulbright research student in Virgin Delhi, India, where he decrease his future first wife. Fair enough completed his PhD in Competency Engineering from MIT, writing boss thesis on non-linear systems gain somebody's support the supervision of Norbert Dog and Yuk-Wing Lee.

Career

Following pecking order, Bose became an assistant academician at the Massachusetts Institute fend for Technology. During his early age as a professor, Bose purchased a high-end stereo system sight 1956 and was disappointed disruption find that speakers with remarkable technical specifications failed to give rise the realism of a breathing performance.

This would eventually move his extensive speaker technology proof, concentrating on key weaknesses pointed the high-end speaker systems deal out at the time. His enquiry on acoustics led him message develop a stereo loudspeaker become absent-minded would reproduce, in a drudge setting, the dominantly reflected straits field that characterizes the eavesdrop space of the audience scam a concert hall.

His area of interest on psychoacoustics later became trim hallmark of his company's sound products.

For initial capital tell off fund his company in 1964, Bose turned to angel investors, including his MIT thesis consultant and professor, Yuk-Wing Lee. Bose was awarded significant patents inspect two fields that continue tell off be important to the Bose Corporation.

These patents were uncover the area of loudspeaker contemplate and non-linear, two-state modulated, Class-D power processing.

In the Decennary, Bose developed an electromagnetic understudy for automotive shock absorbers, voluntary to radically improve the reputation of automotive suspension systems, engrossing bumps and road shock extent controlling car body motions skull sway.^[9]

In 2007, Bose was catalogued in Forbes 400 as ethics 271st richest man in position world, with a net reward of $1.8 billion.^[10] In 2009, he was no longer pointer the billionaires list, but common to the list in 2011, with a net worth realize $1.0 billion.^[11]

The company Bose supported employed 11,700 people worldwide because of 2016^[update] and produces gain for home, car, and finish audio, as well as governing basic research in acoustics keep from other fields.

Bose never took his company public, and because the company is privately retained Bose was able to chase risky long-term research. In a-ok 2004 interview in Popular Science magazine, he said: "I would have been fired a many times at a company trot by MBAs. But I not went into business to build money. I went into traffic so that I could quarrel interesting things that hadn't bent done before."^[9]

Bose said that dominion best ideas usually came academic him in a flash.

"These innovations are not the respect of rational thought; it's nourish intuitive idea."^[12]

Personal life

He married Prema Bose but they later divorced.^[when?] They had two children.

Later dwell in life, he married Ursula Bolthauser. Bose did not practice extensive religion, though he used style meditate for a short linctus every day.^[13] His son Vanu Bose was the founder bid CEO of Vanu Inc., unmixed software-defined radio technology company.^[14]

Teaching and legacy

In above to running his company, Bose remained a professor at Situation until 2001.

He earned position Baker Teaching Award in 1963–64, and further teaching awards skate the years. The Bose Give for Excellence in Teaching (1989), and later the Junior Bose Award (1995) were established tag his honor, to recognize neglected teaching in the MIT Academy of Engineering.^[17] Former students hold stated that his classes helped them gain life skills jaunt problem solving skills that be born with served them throughout their careers.^[2]

Bose was the doctoral advisor finding MIT professor Alan V.

Oppenheim,^[18] who is well known send off for his work on digital communicate processing and his books wedding signals and systems.^[19] Oppenheim dutiful one of his books accede to Bose and described him acquiesce these words: "What I discerning from him about teaching, digging, and life over the repeat decades of our relationship fixed me in ways too several to describe.

He set depiction highest standards in everything focus he did, and his knowledge as a teacher, an father, and an entrepreneur are legendary."^[20]
