CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The SBB Research Group Foundation named Temirdire Adesiji a recipient of its STEM scholarship. The $2,500 award empowers students to create value for society by pursuing higher learning through interdisciplinary combinations of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Temirdire Adesiji, a first-year graduate student, studies electrical and computer engineering at the Brown University School of Engineering. He says his most meaningful accomplishment so far is developing MyGuardian, an AI-powered personal safety system that can detect distress signals, alert trusted contacts with live location information, and escalate emergencies when users are unable to seek help themselves.
“Temirdire isn’t just pursuing a degree, he’s committed to creating meaningful change in the lives of others. His dedication to service, leadership, and community impact embodies the values our scholarship seeks to recognize and support,” said Matt Aven, co-founder and board member of the SBB Research Group Foundation.
