A Vietnamese IT engineer has 56 patents in the US

With a number of patents more than the number of years, Mr. Le Quang Binh - a Vietnamese in the US - has made American IT believers admire their admiration.

Le Quang Binh is currently the software design manager of Sandisk Group, Silicon Valley. Perhaps that is not his last stop in the industry. As well as the number of 56 patents at the age of 41, it took only 13 years since he officially stepped into the software world. His talent is recognized by the rapid advancement in the Micro Devices manufacturing group that improved American Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): design engineers, senior design engineers, design team leaders. .

Graduated from the University of Berkeley - the best (7%), a famous US school in electronics and computing, plus a high score for the GRE (Graduate Record Examination), the Vietnamese student Le Quang Exceeds the standard of Stanford University.

He continued his research on computers, his field of study from the time he was a physics department student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education (Quang Binh left Vietnam for the US in 1990).

He earned a master's degree at Stanford University in 1999 with excellent grades, then passed a tough exam to be instructed by Professor Robert W. Dutton to conduct a doctoral thesis. The content of the thesis is to invent a new method of induction for flash memory (flash memory), currently popularly used in mobile phones and digital cameras. This invention has been highly appreciated by IEEE (USA) science magazine and applied by AMD Corporation in practice.

Quang Binh invented as an emancipation of the maturity. He said: " When the idea comes, there may be 3-6 inventions at once ." So it is not surprising that he is still the person of the awards: the prize for people with many works, AMD Group's award for patents, he summarized the "need condition" for success: passion, diligence to learn, progress and always forward.

A surprising number comes from the US Patent and Commercial Market Office (www.uspto.gov): the number of Vietnamese patents in the United States from 1976-2003 is 153,717, an average of each year. there are 5,693 equal.

It seems that these elements have seeped into his flesh and blood. The face-to-face man talks about inventions as simply as "getting things in his pocket" and not exaggerating at all: " When encountering difficult problems, create an initiative ." Six years ago, he and his team built Memory chips with tens of millions of microchips in them.

To set up this program must use 5V-25V current and thus cannot be checked manually. An American is dispatched to write a software. Software running in two days is not done yet. Quang Binh wrote other software. Within two consecutive weeks he works 18-20 hours a day. Once completed, it takes only 30 minutes to finish checking the entire chip.

During his busy days, he still spends his time eating Vietnamese meals with his family in a house in San Jose. ' Every day, my wife (my college classmate) and my three children also eat Vietnamese dishes. My wife cooked Hue beef noodle, noodle soup and vermicelli are very good '- he boasted. It is the Vietnamese-style family home that contributes to maintaining a strong creativity in him. Every man who wants to be successful must have a solid rear.
