Dr Raiyomand Aspandiar

Attended IIT Powai from 1972 to 1977  graduating with a B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering
Attended Stanford University from 1977 to 1983 and graduated with a Ph.D in Materials Science
Worked at Intel Corporation from 1983 to present, in Hillsboro, Oregon, doing various R&D projects, mostly involved with components that house the silicon chips inside personal computers.

My present project is to remove lead from the solders in Intel products since lead is one of the substances being banned from electronic products, all over the world (except the US?!?!) due to environmental concerns.
Its also interesting to note, having played cricket at Campion with Prashant, Ranjit, Vijay Divecha and others (Balagovind was our coach), when I moved to Oregon, there was no cricket being played there (there were two flourishing leagues in California, even in the 70s). So, with other enthusiasts, I founded the Northwest Cricket League, in the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. This league has grown by leaps and bounds now with over 20 clubs, comprising mostly of expats, though. Next step is to form a over-50s league in Oregon, since I've too old and rickety to remain competitive with the younger guns migrating to these parts from India and Pakistan.
