T

o honor and recognize esteemed Electron Devices
Society (EDS) alumni, the EDS Celebrated Member
Program has been instituted by EDS, and in 2019
this prestigious honor was bestowed upon Prof. Leon Chua
of UC Berkeley, a Life CAS Fellow, for his enormous contributions to advancement of electron devices research. Only
one member of the EDS is bestowed this honor per year
and past Celebrated Members include luminaries such as
Nobel Laureates George Smith, Herb Kroemer, and Leo
Esaki, as well as Bob Dennard, Simon Sze, and Gordon Moore.
Leon Chua is widely known for his contributions to
nonlinear circuit theory and the invention of the Memristor, Cellular Neural Networks and the Chua's Circuit. His research has been recognized internationally through numerous major awards, including 17 honorary doctorates from
major universities in Europe and Japan, and 7 USA patents.
He was elected as Fellow of IEEE in 1974, a foreign member
of the European Academy of Sciences (Academia Europea)
in 1997, a foreign member of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences in 2007, and an honorary fellow of the Institute
of Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich,
Germany in 2012. He was honored with many major prizes,
including the Frederick Emmons Award in 1974, the IEEE
Neural Networks Pioneer Award in 2000, the first IEEE Gustav Kirchhoff Award in 2005, the International Francqui
Chair (Belgium) in 2006, the Guggenheim Fellow award in
2010, Leverhulme Professor Award (United Kingdom) during 2010-2011, and the EU Marie Curie Fellow award, 2013.
Prof. Chua is widely cited for the 12 hugely popular lectures
he presented at the HP Chua Lecture Series, entitled "From
Memristors and Cellular Nonlinear Networks to the Edge of
Chaos," during the fall of 2015, and now accessible through
