Bio
Sami Ajram
I have worked with Dr. Khalid Rustom since 2 years as technical advisor on an ambitious semiconductor development program for PV Module Electronics. Dr Rustom is one of the best talents we could have today in power electronics and electrical engineering, capable of bridging advanced research to advanced development and producing distinguished and valuable products. Khalid has always handled one of the most difficult pieces in his projects and learned how to timely overcome technical challenges driven by his right intuition, structured methodology and tenacious work. He always finds extra time to dedicate to wider scheme thinking and long term strategy. He is recognized by his peers as one of the leading specialists in the domain and I believe he is capable to surprise us further as he exports with easiness to business development and strategy.
