Dr. Mark Lundstrom

Biography

Mark Lundstrom is the Don Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, where he has a longstanding career in research and teaching focused on semiconductor physics, modeling, and simulation. He began his professional journey in the industry working on integrated circuit process development and manufacturing. Lundstrom's research has significantly advanced the understanding of MOSFETs' scaling limits and has emphasized design and manufacturing transistors at the 10-nanometer length scale. He founded nanoHUB, which has provided over a million users with online access to semiconductor simulation tools and educational resources. His scholarly contributions include hundreds of research papers and five authoritative texts, including "Fundamentals of Carrier Transport" (2nd Ed., Cambridge, 2000), which is a key reference in the field. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Lundstrom has received several accolades for his teaching and research and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. In recognition of his contributions to the semiconductor field in Indiana, he was named "Sagamore of the Wabash" by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb in 2024.
