Hey there! I am Maaz Khurram, a passionate Electrical Engineer with a strong interest in Analog/RF IC Design. Check out some of the projects I have been working on below! Looking back, I have spent countless late nights in the engineering labs or at home troubleshooting new projects and fine-tuning old ones. The projects below have been instrumental in my journey of technical learning and growth, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!


Much of the credit goes to the incredible professors, technicians, mentors, and colleagues who were always there when I needed help. Their willingness to share their precious time with an engineering student eager to learn made all the difference.


- Dr. Leonid Belostotski (Instructor - Analog IC + RFIC Design @ UofC)

- Dr. Denis Onen (Instructor - Digital System Design @ UofC)

- Dr. Kartikeya Murari (Instructor - Semiconductor Physics , UofC)
- Devin Atkin (Academic sponsor for Capstone project @ UofC)
- Alex Sheldon (Graduate Research Student @ UofC)
- Mohamed Balla Elamien (Academic advisor for Capstone project @ UofC)
- John Shelley (EE Lab Technologist @UofC)
- Richard Galambos (EE Lab Technologist @ UofC)
- Stefan Lund (Internship supervisor @ Garmin Canada)
- Martin Bobek (Co-worker @ Garmin Canada)
- and many more whose names I may not remember...

741 Op-Amp (Discrete Transistor Version)

Op-amp designed with discrete and commonly-available 2N3904 and 2N3906 BJTs.

This PCB was later used by Department of Electrical and Software Engineering at University of Calgary as part of lab sessions for introductory Electrical Engineering course (ENGG 225) taken annually by more than 800 first-year engineering students.

These are a few words shared by people I’ve worked with, originally posted on LinkedIn

Maaz reported to me at Rambus and I pride myself for hiring him. He was just in engineering 3rd year and in the first telephonic call itself, I heard a polite, motivated young engineer who wanted to learn and grow. I knew. He joined us a few months later and Maaz did not disappoint. He was quick to ramp. Maaz is an inquisitive engineer who always does his homework before seeking out help. His etiquette made it very easy for us to get him to work with customers. I wish Maaz the very best in his career. He has all the ingredients to make a fantastic semiconductor engineer!
