Kamran Eshraghian (born 13 June 1945) is an Iranian-Australianelectronics engineer notable for working onVLSI in Australia. He has worked onCMOSVLSI design.
Kamran Eshraghian was born inTehran on 13 June 1945, in a Baha'i family. On his father side, he is related to theAfnan families through his grandmother. In 1957, his parents decided to leave Iran for Indonesia and Singapore as Baha'i pioneers. On 5 May 1959, he left Singapore to do his schooling in Adelaide, South Australia arriving in Perth on 6 May 1959 and Adelaide the next day 7 May 1959. He was married[1] on 13 May 1967 to Deidre Lynett Eyers, who died due to prolonged illness on 2 January 1989.[citation needed]

Eshraghian attendedAdelaide High School followed byGawler High School for years 9 and 10. Afterwards, he went toPort Pirie High School in 1962 for his Matriculation year which permitted entry to University and was compulsory for entrance to University. In Port Pirie High School, he was elected as the President of theScience Club.
In 1969, he obtained his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering fromUniversity of Adelaide. In 1977, Eshraghian completed his M.Eng.Sci, at the university, underRobert Eugene Bogner, with a thesis entitledVehicle Traffic Monitoring. In 1981, he completed his PhD, underPeter Harold Cole, with a thesis entitledElectromagnetic Traffic Sensing and Surveillance. In 2004, Eshraghian was awarded Doctor of Engineering e.h. (May 2004) by the University of Ulm, Germany for integration of microelectronics with photonics. He was the fourth person that received the award given by the University of Ulm and the very first to a non-German academic.
In 1979, he joined the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Adelaide after spending some 10 years withPhilips Research both in Europe and Australia.
He has been a professor atEdith Cowan University inPerth, Western Australia.[2]
From 2009, Eshraghian worked as the Distinguished Professor, Coordinator of Research program World Class University (WCU) Program atChungbuk National University, Korea. South Korea's Science Foundation invited scholars, including 9 Nobel Prize laureates, 12 members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences or equivalent ranking to teach and lead advanced research at respective domestic campuses as part of government's initiative to advance nation's higher education.[3] Eshraghian task was to introduce a new program and formulate and implement the new concept of System-on-System integration utilizing the newly nano- engineeredmemristor as the core of program.
Eshraghian was the co-author of 6 influential books in his field such asBasic VLSI andPrinciples of CMOS VLSI Design: A Systems Perspective. He is the author and/or co-author of more than 200 articles in scientific journals, proceedings of international conferences and symposia.

Eshraghian is the recipient of a number of awards and grants such as the architect and recipient of grant from Government of Western Australia in 2003 for establishment of Centre of Excellence for MicroPhotonics Systems. In 2001, he also received the Vice Chancellor's Entrepreneurial award for his entrepreneurial activities.
