Mir Ibrahim who did his BS in EE and MS in bioengineering in 1976 from Rutgers. He has over 200 patents in artificial limbs. His message is that multidisciplinary research is very important. There are lots of problem lies in cross-disciplinary research. Mir Ibrahim also attended medical school for 3 years. He has knowledge of biology, chemistry, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering and software. He is the founder of more than 20 startups. Quite interesting person.

He thinks that nanotechnology is waste. Bec. engineers have found a technology and now they are looking for a problem where the technology can be applied. First we have to understand what the problem is. Sequences of understanding of the problem itself brings the solution.
