Education
Dr. Lundstrom received his BEE and MSEE degrees from the University of Minnesota in 1973 and 1974 and the Ph.D. degree from Purdue University in 1980. His doctoral thesis was on the physics of crystalline solar cells and his adviser was Richard J. Schwartz.
Career
From 1974-1977, Lundstrom worked on silicon integrated circuit process development and manufacturing for Hewlett-Packard in Loveland, CO. His research at Purdue University addresses the physics, modeling, and simulation of carrier transport in semiconductor devices including solar cells, heterostructure devices, thermoelectric devices, and nanoscale transistors. He was the founding director of the National Science Foundation's Network for Computational Nanotechnology and its science gateway, the nanoHUB and is currently principal investigator of NEEDS:Nano-Engineered Electronic Device Simulation Node, a resource for nanoelectronics supported by the National Science Foundation.
