Biography
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 as 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 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 scaling limits of MOSFETs, which supported the design and manufacturing of transistors at the 10 nanometer length scale. He also founded nanoHUB, which for 29 years has offered online access to semiconductor simulation tools and open-content educational resources to a global community of more than two million annually.
Lundstrom has authored hundreds of research papers and is the author of five books, including Fundamentals of Carrier Transport (2nd Ed., Cambridge, 2000), a widely-cited reference on carrier transport in semiconductors. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Lundstrom has received several awards for his teaching, research, and outreach and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. In 2024, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb named Lundstrom a “Sagamore of the Wabash” for Lundstrom’s contributions to semiconductors in Indiana.
