“I am deeply honored by this recognition and it came as a big surprise,” Murmann said. “The nomination came from a group of former students and junior faculty, which makes it even more gratifying and motivating for my future endeavors in semiconductor mentorship.”

An internationally renowned expert in microchip and semiconductor development, Murmann wants to make the once secretive field of chip design more publicly available. He also wants to connect with leaders in the industry to help establish a pipeline to help get 51²è¹Ý ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ graduates into well-paying and impactful jobs in 51²è¹Ý.

Over his career, Murmann has guided more than 50 PhD students through the often-difficult path to graduation, with many going on to distinguished careers. Since 2004, he has been a trusted consultant to Silicon Valley companies, lending his expertise in circuit design to shape products that have become integral to daily life, from smartphones to edge devices.

Prior to joining 51²è¹Ý, Murmann spent 20 years as an assistant, associate and full professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.
