Reference excerpt

Yalçın Ayaslı (born 1946) is a Turkish-American business executive and electrical engineer.

Education A graduate of the Ankara Atatürk High School, Ayasli received his B.S. in electrical engineering from the Middle East Technical University Electrical Engineering Department in 1968. Yalcin Ayasli received his M.S.E.E. and Sc.D. degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973 and worked as a faculty member and Deputy Department Chair at the METU Electrical Engineering Department for six years.

Career A Massachusetts (MA) resident in 1979-2006, and NH resident since 2006, Ayasli has conducted theoretical and experimental studies on Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit techniques involving GaAs Field-Effect Transistors and related devices. He began his professional career at the MA based Raytheon's research division. In 1985, he founded Hittite Microwave Corporation, a public company traded on Nasdaq, in Chelmsford, MA. The company is a supplier of mixed signal RFIC and Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuit components and subsystems for wireless and telecommunication markets. After serving as the company's CEO and Chairman of the Board for 20 years, Ayasli served as Chairman Emeritus until the company was purchased by Analog Devices Inc. in 2014 for $2.45 billion. In 2017 he sold the airline Borajet to the SBK Holding of Sezgin Baran Korkmaz. Ayasli is the author of numerous scientific papers in this research area and holds 15 patents. He was the General Chairman for the 1987 IEEE Microwave and Millimeter Wave Monolithic Circuits Symposium. Ayasli is founder and chairman of two US public charitable organizations; Turkish Cultural Foundation and Turkish Coalition of America. Both organizations have offices in Boston, Washington, D.C. and Istanbul. Ayasli also established the Culinary Arts Center and Cultural Heritage Preservation and Natural Dyes Laboratory in Istanbul. In 2012, he donated the Ayasli Research Center to his alma mater, Middle East Technical University Engineering Department. Yalcin Ayasli also is a member of the High Advisory Board of the World Turkish Business Council. The board last met in Istanbul on June 7, 2012. In addition, Ayasli is an investor in the Borajet, Armaggan and Nar companies in Turkey.

Awards 1986 — IEEE Microwave Prize 1994 — IEEE Fellow for contribution to the design and development of wide-band gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). 2011 — Macedonia Friendship Award

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Yalçın Ayaslı

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Yalçın Ayaslı claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, 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 Yalçın Ayaslı 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 Yalçın Ayaslı 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 Yalçın Ayaslı

In research: Yalçın Ayaslı appears in engineering 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 Yalçın Ayaslı 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: Yalçın Ayaslı is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1946 births, Academic staff of Middle East Technical University, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Yalçın Ayaslı 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.
