Bio

Mark Lundstrom Mark Lundstrom was born and grew up in Alexandria, Minnesota. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Minnesota in 1973 and 1974 and then worked at Hewlett-Packard Corporation in Colorado on integrated circuit process development and manufacturing. He joined the Purdue faculty upon completing his doctorate on the West Lafayette campus in 1980 and is now the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. His research has addressed the physics, simulation, and modeling of a variety of semiconductor devices. One theme of his research has been the understanding of carrier transport from the macroscale to nanoscale. Lundstrom was the founding director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation that created nanoHUB.org, science gateway that now serves a global community of more than 300,000 researchers and educators. He is the author of three books on semiconductor physics and devices. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and a Thompson-Reuters Highly-Cited Author in Engineering.
