Dr. Satwant Kaur (born 19 July 1961) is an American Chief Technologist, patent holder, author, and public speaker.

Kaur is credited for inventing, developing, and holding patents to Intel’s Reduced Interoperability “RI” technologies.

Kaur was an executive with Intel, where she was a Chief Technologist of Life Sciences and a Master Solutions Architect from 2011 to 2015. She began with the company as a platform specialist with Intel Architecture Group from 2008 to 2011.

Kaur has been hailed in various columns and media appearances as the “First Lady of Emerging Technologies” for her work and contributions to embedded intelligence and breakthrough technologies.

In 2000, Kaur was awarded U.S. Citizenship for ‘Extraordinary Ability’, the highest category of U.S. Immigration, by the U.S. government.

In 2013, Kaur wrote and independently published her first book, “Transitioning Embedded Systems to Intelligent Environments: A Journey through Evolving Technologies”.

Early life and Education

Kaur was born on July 19, 1961 in Madras, India as the youngest of three children. She grew up in a suburb of Delhi, India.

Her father was an engineer, and Kaur spent her childhood days helping him build electrical circuits in his home lab. Her mother, a mathematician, explained the properties and inner workings of numbers to Kaur throughout her childhood. Kaur credits both of her parents for encouraging her attendance of the India Institute of Technology, and fostering an interest in the technological sciences from a young age.

Dr. Kaur holds a Bachelor of Technology in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, India. She graduated with distinction in 1984.

She also received her Master of Science in engineering and computer science in 1996, and a PhD in enhanced internet protocols for efficient mobile communication in 2001, both from Oakland University in Oakland County, Michigan.

Career

Kaur was a Chief Architect and trusted technical advisor to the CIO of CA Technologies between the years 1997 and 2002, where she co-invented the company's event-correlation engine to pinpoint root cause of massive amounts of alert.

Between the years 2003 and 2007, Kaur was a Development Director with Symantec where she architected the Veritas Storage Foundation for Networks.

Kaur began with Intel in 2008 and worked for the company as a Platform Strategist and Lead Interoperability Architect where she invented, developed, and currently holds patents for Intel’s Reduced Interoperability “RI” technologies. She held these roles until 2012.

In 2011, Kaur became Chief Technology Officer of Health and Life Sciences for HP, where she collaborated with clients such as Symantec, GM, and Ally.

Kaur was also a distinguished member of the Coleman Research Group, and an ambassador at large for the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology

Radio and Podcast Appearances

In addition to her public speaking, Kaur has held interviews and discussions on various podcasts and radio shows, including her interview with Sirius XM station Autos 0-60.

Kaur hosted her own talk segment on radio show “Computers2Know” in 2011. In the segment, dubbed by the show’s producers “Emerging Technologies with the First Lady of Emerging Technology”, Kaur continued the work of her speeches by sharing more of her perspective and insight on breakthrough technologies.

Published Works

Kaur wrote her first book, “Transitioning Embedded Systems to Intelligent Environments: A Journey through Evolving Technologies”, in 2013.In this, she aimed to lay out a vision and provide data on key technologies in the future by covering the uses of embedded intelligence in the healthcare, transportation, and energy industries.

Preface:

My writing of this book Transitioning Embedded Systems to Intelligent Environments has been inspired by the major innovations that have been made possible by embedded technologies in last twenty five years, ever since I created the first capacitor manufacturing robot for small scale industries. My robot was a visionary emulation of human workers in small scale industries who built capacitors with their hands one by one. However, the embedded system for the robot was built using Intel's 8088 processor, which was the size of a suitcase, has LED outputs and a numeric keypad, and required binary language programming. The robot could perform only one operation, which was to build capacitors to the microfarads specified. This book is not a testimony of how the field of embedded systems has evolved over the last twenty five years. Rather, like the robot, this book is a vision of intelligent environments. It details what the intelligent environment looks like, and how we get to that vision of intelligent environments. There are many compelling reasons to change our surroundings to one with intelligent environments. Many technologies are propelling us well armed into that future. This book details the path to get to our vision. This book details 101 example intelligent environments and describes how various technologies enable each one to become a reality.
