Mark Lundstrom is the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and currently serves as Senior Advisor to the President and Purdue’s Chief Semiconductor Officer. He is also a Senior Research Fellow for the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue and has served as Purdue’s Dean of Engineering twice.

Lundstrom earned his BEE and MSEE degrees from the University of Minnesota and his Ph.D. at Purdue University. He began his career in industry working on integrated circuit (chip) process development and manufacturing. At Purdue, his research and teaching have focused on the physics, modeling, and simulation of semiconductor devices. He is best known for his work on the fundamental limits of transistors, which supported the design and manufacturing of MOSFETS at the 10 nanometer length scale. He also founded nanoHUB, which for 25 years has offered online access to semiconductor simulation tools, data, and open-content educational resources to a global community of more than one million annually.

Lundstrom has been recognized by several organizations for his contributions to research, education, and outreach and was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering for his leadership in microelectronics and nanoelectronics.
