AN HONOR
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

What an honor it is to have Dr. Barez on our Board of Advisors. In the grand tradition of Silicon Valley, Dr. Fred Barez has had a profound effect on the hotbed of technology known as Silicon Valley: as a hands-on engineer, as a distinguished professor at San Jose State University<\/a>, and as an active member of professional organizations. He has been instrumental in nurturing the relationship of genius, capital, and technology in the whole Bay Area - from Silicon Valley to Berkeley.<\/p>\n

Let's start at the technology beginning...<\/p>\n

Dr. Barez completed his PhD degree under the guidance of the eminent Professor Dr. Werner Goldsmith<\/a> from the University of California at Berkeley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

INDUSTRY<\/span><\/h1>\nDr. Barez joined Memorex Corporation to work on cutting edge high capacity disk drives using mechanical design & finite element modeling and more. He joined his first start-up,\u00a0Magnex Corporation, as\u00a0a Staff Engineer and left the company 2 years later as Director of Engineering. He then co-founded his own company, Read-Rite Corporation (Dir. Engineering & Technical Market Development).<\/span>\n\nHe oversaw development of several products used in the manufacture of hard disk media (burnish heads, glide heads, calibration bump disks, and certification heads) used through out the hard disk drive industry.<\/span>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
