印度裔移民创业者苏哈斯·帕提尔（Suhas Patil），Cirrus Logic创始人之一。Suhas Patil was born in Jamshedpur, India, and came to the high-tech industry from academia. Now, as chairman of the board and executive vice president of products and technologies for Cirrus Logic Inc., he says his teaching skills are invaluable. Cirrus Logic is a leading manufacturer of advanced integrated circuits for multimedia, communications and mass storage in personal computers.
Patil received his degree in electronics and electrical communication from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1965 and his master's and doctorate in electrical engineering at MIT in 1967 and 1970.
He taught computer science at MIT, then moved to the University of Utah. While there, from 1975 to 1980, he founded the VLSI (very large scale integration) group and worked on design methodology for complex integrated circuits. He founded Patil Systems Inc. in 1981 to develop software for automated integrated circuit design.
He and Michael Hackworth, the company's president and CEO, founded Fremont-based Cirrus Logic in 1984. He spoke with writer Joyce Gemperlein and student David Danielson.

Academia
Patil received his bachelor's degree in engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. From 1970 until 1975, Patil was assistant professor of electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at MIT, he also served as assistant director of Project MAC (Multi-Access Computer), the largest computer science laboratory in the U.S, where the timesharing computer system was developed. At MIT, he worked in the area of Computer Architecture and related topics.
He was an associate professor of computer science at the University of Utah College of Engineering from 1975 to 1980, where he started the VLSI group and worked on design methodology for complex integrated circuits.
As a gift to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Patil awarded $1.5 million for the construction of the Suhas and Jayashree Patil Conference Center at the Stata Center. Dr. Patil said in reference to his gift, "The Stata Center is an interdisciplinary facility. To do cutting-edge research that influences society, we need to span several fields. The hallmark of a great institution is it attracts great people who work together. We wanted our gift to support this kind of place."
