Kamran Eshraghian is an electronic engineer notable for being a key early pioneer of VLSI in Australia. He is one of the fathers of CMOS VLSI design and his books have been influential on a par with the Mead & Conway revolution.

Education

In 1978, Eshraghian completed his M.Eng.Sci, at the University of Adelaide, under Robert Eugene Bogner, with a thesis entitled "Vehicle Traffic Monitoring". In 1980, he completed his PhD, under Peter Harold Cole, with a thesis entitled "Electromagnetic Traffic Sensing and Surveillance."

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.
