Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmir Farrokhpanah is a thermal engineer with nine years of experience designing high-performance thermal solutions for silicon and battery systems. Currently at Apple, he architects die- and package-level thermal models and advises IC floor-planning to balance energy efficiency and performance scaling. Previously he led thermo-mechanical design and control strategies for Lucid Motors' high-voltage battery pack and built multiphase heat-transfer solvers in C++/CUDA during research collaborations with Autodesk. His background spans PhD-level research at the University of Toronto and postdoctoral work on advanced oxide deposition processes, giving him a rare blend of device-level materials expertise and system-level thermal architecture. Based in San Jose, he focuses on translating complex thermal physics into practical engineering choices that unlock higher chip performance. Not obvious from the title: he pairs academic rigor with hands-on solver development, enabling both predictive modeling and production-ready design guidance.
