Ohioguy:

I found this CV of a Pakistani that I thought was interesting. Read it carefully. Will guys like this have the opportunity to fulfill their potential post 9/11? Maybe not. Could he qualify for a Visa today? Maybe not. So perhaps he goes to another University in Europe, maybe not.

Aurangzeb Khan, CVP Business Development & CTO, Worldwide Field Operations, CADENCE
Aurangzeb is CVP, Business Development & CTO in Worldwide Field Operations (WFO). He helps drive business development, contributes to the technology strategy, and leads the design and silicon engineering practices for Cadence. Earlier, Aurangzeb was CVP/GM for Cadence Design Foundry (now part of WFO), and focused on the IC design business, including IP development and integration. The group delivered ~100 SoC and IP-designs in the 6/02 –11/03 period with a ~97% rate of 1st silicon success®. Gartner Dataquest ranked CDF as the #1 IP provider in total networking, ethernet and other networking categories in 2003.

Earlier, Aurangzeb was EVP/GM for the IC design business at Simplex and served as the President and CEO of Altius (where he was a co-founder). He held senior engineering responsibilities at Cirrus Logic and Tandem Computers and was an IC design engineer at Fairchild.

Aurangzeb has contributed to several industry-first SoCs, including the TeraChip 160Gb/s Switch Fabric (ISSCC 2004) and the Infineon Technologies 40 Gb/s Framer Mapper Processor SoCs. The team delivered 33 (of 33) SOC designs with 1st Silicon Success®, including the Sony Computer Entertainment Graphics Synthesizer®I-32, which was the highest integration IC presented at ISSCC 2001 and which received the Gold Design Achievement Award at DAC 2001, and the PlayStation®2 Graphics Synthesizer SoC. The first single-chip integrations of system electronics for magnetic hard disk drives (3Ci™) and DVD recorders were presented in ISSCC 1999. EDN named 3Ci™ “Innovation of the Year” and IDC recognized it as a “Top 10” development.

Aurangzeb received an MS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Engineering Management from Stanford University. He received a double-major BS from U.C. Berkeley, in EECS and Nuclear Engineering, and a B.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics from the University of the Punjab, in Lahore, Pakistan, where he was awarded the Academic Roll of Honour. Aurangzeb holds eight patents in high-speed circuit design. His interests include developing high technology businesses, and SoC and circuit design.

Wow you found overachiever named Aurangzeb. OG? People named Aurangzeb’s are usually dickless wonders.

Moral of the story is…there are many foreign students who come here, there intellects are needed for research and due to sheer shortage vis-a-vis capital available for particular studies. Fine… 99% of them are thankful for being presented this opportunity, 1% are like irem who are just naiive and ungrateful souls..and that is great.
