Tsu-Jae King Liu, Chenming Hu, and Leon Chua featured as luminaries on IEEE EDS podcast
Dean of Berkeley Engineering and EECS Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu, and EECS Profs. Emeritus Leon Chua and Chenming Hu (also Professor in the Graduate School), are featured as luminaries in an IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Podcast Series. Considered among “the most successful members of the [Electron Devices] Society,” these three professors share their insights and wisdom in interviews designed to provide “invaluable inspiration and knowledge for those in the engineering field.” Liu, the first and only woman to chair the EECS Department, leads a research team that explores the development of novel semiconductor devices, non-volatile memory devices, and M/NEMS technology for ultra-low power circuits. Hu is considered a “microelectronics visionary” whose seminal work on metal-oxide semiconductor MOS reliability and device modeling has had enormous impact on the continued scaling of electronic devices. Chua is an expert in nonlinear circuit theory and cellular neural network theory, the inventor of the eponymous Chua’s circuit, and the first person to postulate the existence of the memristor. Liu and Hu are among the co-inventors of the three-dimensional FinFET transistor, which is used in all leading microprocessor chips today.
