PUCHONG/PENANG (The Straits Times/ANN): Fifteen years ago, Terengganu-born Dr Salleh Ahmad could not find a job in Malaysia that matched his qualifications. He had just graduated from France’s top engineering school ESIEE Paris with an engineering degree in microelectronics in 2009 and wanted to design microchips for the aerospace sector.
Instead, he stayed in Paris to work for Laboratoire de l’Accélérateur Linéaire, a research unit within the French national nuclear and particle physics institute. In 2012, he moved to microchip manufacturer Weeroc to pursue his career while studying for his PhD in Microengineering in Aerophysics at Paris-Sud University.
