Ali Tassoudji, better known as AliT in the family, is my brother-in-law. We have been friends since I knew Shahrzad, my wife (that means almost a century ago.)
He is an EE (PhD, MIT) working in Qualcomm company in San Diego, USA. We used to stay at his place from 2001 to 2004. We had a great time living with him (his opinion about the subject might differ.)
