 | Hany El Hak I graduated with MSEE degree from Ain Shams University, Electronics and Communications Engineering Department. Ain Shams is the oldest university in the world, located in Cairo, Egypt. The oldest theories of astronomy, engineering and medicine were developed there more than 5000 years ago. My research topic wasn't that old though. My thesis was on Low-Noise Amplifier Design in Advanced CMOS Technology. For several years, I worked as RFIC Designer, wrote six IEEE papers and led RFIC design teams. My last position before I moved to EDA was Design Manager of the RFIC Group at MEMSCAP. Today, I am a Product Marketing Manager at Cadence responsible of RF and Mixed-Signal simulators.
