Among the many innovations since World War II, the integration of billions of transistors in fingernail-size circuits has had the most profound effect on societies around the world. Computers, the internet, mobile phones, self-driving cars, and robotics all depend on the longevity of transistors and the transistors’ ability to efficiently function when shrunk to nanoscale dimensions. Professor Dimitri Antoniadis of MIT has played a vital role in this revolution through innovations in the design and analysis of transistor operation, especially as dimensions shrank to the nanoscale domain.
