Key takeaways

Kamran Eshraghian belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kamran Eshraghian to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kamran Eshraghian from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kamran Eshraghian (born 13 June 1945) is an Iranian-Australian electronics engineer notable for working on VLSI in Australia. He has worked on CMOS VLSI design.

Personal life Kamran Eshraghian was born in Tehran on 13 June 1945, in a Baha'i family. On his father side, he is related to the Afnan families through his grandmother. In 1957, his parents decided to leave Iran for Indonesia and Singapore as Baha'i pioneers. On 5 May 1959, he left Singapore to do his schooling in Adelaide, South Australia arriving in Perth on 6 May 1959 and Adelaide the next day 7 May 1959. He was married on 13 May 1967 to Deidre Lynett Eyers, who died due to prolonged illness on 2 January 1989.

Education

Eshraghian attended Adelaide High School followed by Gawler High School for years 9 and 10. Afterwards, he went to Port Pirie High School in 1962 for his Matriculation year which permitted entry to University and was compulsory for entrance to University. In Port Pirie High School, he was elected as the President of the Science Club. In 1969, he obtained his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from University of Adelaide. In 1977, Eshraghian completed his M.Eng.Sci, at the university, under Robert Eugene Bogner, with a thesis entitled Vehicle Traffic Monitoring. In 1981, he completed his PhD, under Peter Harold Cole, with a thesis entitled Electromagnetic Traffic Sensing and Surveillance. In 2004, Eshraghian was awarded Doctor of Engineering e.h. (May 2004) by the University of Ulm, Germany for integration of microelectronics with photonics. He was the fourth person that received the award given by the University of Ulm and the very first to a non-German academic.

Career In 1979, he joined the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Adelaide after spending some 10 years with Philips Research both in Europe and Australia. He has been a professor at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia. From 2009, Eshraghian worked as the Distinguished Professor, Coordinator of Research program World Class University (WCU) Program at Chungbuk National University, Korea. South Korea's Science Foundation invited scholars, including 9 Nobel Prize laureates, 12 members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences or equivalent ranking to teach and lead advanced research at respective domestic campuses as part of government's initiative to advance nation's higher education. Eshraghian task was to introduce a new program and formulate and implement the new concept of System-on-System integration utilizing the newly nano- engineered memristor as the core of program.

Publications of journals and books Eshraghian was the co-author of 6 influential books in his field such as Basic VLSI and Principles of CMOS VLSI Design: A Systems Perspective. He is the author and/or co-author of more than 200 articles in scientific journals, proceedings of international conferences and symposia.

Achievements and awards

Eshraghian is the recipient of a number of awards and grants such as the architect and recipient of grant from Government of Western Australia in 2003 for establishment of Centre of Excellence for MicroPhotonics Systems. In 2001, he also received the Vice Chancellor's Entrepreneurial award for his entrepreneurial activities.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kamran Eshraghian

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kamran Eshraghian claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kamran Eshraghian before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kamran Eshraghian ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kamran Eshraghian

In research: Kamran Eshraghian appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kamran Eshraghian in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kamran Eshraghian is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1945 births, Academic staff of Edith Cowan University, Academic staff of the University of Adelaide, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kamran Eshraghian outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
