Mahmoud Shahram, Physicist, EE

Founder, President

Mahmoud is the Founder and President of SolarBreeze Technology Inc (SBTI). He received his MS in Physics from MIT, and BS/MS Physics/EE from Northeastern University. Mahmoud has over 20 publications and several patents. He is also a senior member of IEEE, and a 29 years veteran in the High-Tech and Semiconductor industry with experience both in hardware, software & services.

Prior to SBTI he was a director of R&D at Synopsys, Inc. and Epic Design Technology for 10 years, where he led the development & enhancement of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and solutions for semiconductor integrated circuit designs. He was involved in modeling & characterization of complex Nano-meter semiconductor devices for advanced processes. He managed & led highly expert R&D engineering teams for Design-Flow-Solution creation and enhancement & calibration of design tools.

Prior to above positions Mahmoud held the following industrial and academic positions:

• He was a Director of Engineering at Meta Software where he developed and managed the Meta-Lab, an advanced semiconductor Characterization & Modeling Lab, which evolved to an industry icon status with revenue growth over 600% in less than 3 years. He enhanced and elevated the Meta-Software proprietary transistor model (Level-28) to its highest semiconductor industry global adoption for over 3 years. He was a key member of the Meta Software executive team, a privately held company. Mahmoud was instrumental in the process of Meta-Software successful IPO as a Public company in November 1995.
• He was a Principal/Consultant Engineer at Digital Equipment Corporation for 10 years, designing IC chips (SRAM) for high-end computers (VAX 8800). He was responsible for semiconductor device characterization, modeling for design tools, enhancement and development of algorithms, and generation of models for semiconductor chip design tools such as SPICE. He was also a member of the R&D and design team in exploration of GaAs technology for STRAM designs for VAX 8800.
• Mahmoud also managed the facilities and HVAC of Ekbatan, a 400 unit modern housing complex, with over 100 KW emergency power generators for the elevators & common area electrical utilities.
• He also held instructor & teaching positions in several universities such as MIT, Northeastern University, Sharif (Aryamehr) University, Suffolk University, and Salem State Collage for over 7 years.

Max Panahandeh, Ph.D. PE

SBTI Consultant, Advisory Board.

Max has over 25 years of experience in the field of engineering mechanics and bioengineering. His work in the area of smart materials and shape memory alloys has resulted in several research grants from NIH, Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFSOR), US Army, NASA Langley and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He is the author of several peer-reviewed articles related to material modeling of shape memory alloys, design of stents and simulation of smart structures.

His work as a principal investigator for NIH grants involves the development of design tools for next generation cardiovascular devices and prototyping of new self-expanding stents with significant performance improvement by introducing optimized mechanical design parameters. In a research project with the US Army he was the principal investigator for the development of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools for the design of sensors and actuators in closed-loop smart structural systems.

Dr. Panahandeh is currently a principal with Berkeley Applied Science & Engineering, Inc. (BASE) where the development of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools for the design of smart devices and cardiovascular implants are pursued.
