Long-time IEEE Solid-State Circuits
Society (SSCS) member Lew Terman
[1] received the IEEE Richard
M. Emberson Award for contributions
to and leadership of multiple
IEEE technical Societies, the Technical
Activities Board (TAB), and IEEE
humanitarian technology activities.
The IEEE Richard M. Emberson award
is presented to an IEEE Member for
distinguished service advancing the
technical objectives of IEEE.
Lew was editor-in-chief of IEEE
Journal of Solid-State Circuits during
1974-1977. He was treasurer of the
then IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council
in 1988 and 1989 (the SSCS became
a Society in 1997), Awards Committee
chair and vice president in 1996

and 1997, and president of the Society
in 1998 and 1999. In addition to
his roles with SSCS, Lew was also an
Administrative Committee member
of the IEEE Electron Devices Society
(EDS) during 1985-1990, vice president
of EDS in 1988 and 1989, and
president of EDS in 1990 and 1991.
In 2008, Lew was president and
CEO of the IEEE. Prior to that, he
was the TAB treasurer for two terms
(1995-1998), TAB vice president in
2001, IEEE Publication Services and
Products Board treasurer in 2003,
and Division 1 director from 2004 to
2005. He was also chair of the IEEE
Awards Board from 2013 to 2014. Lew
is a Fellow of the IEEE and received
the prestigious IEEE Donald O. Pederson
Award in Solid-State Circuits
in 1995. He is a member of the U.S.
National Academy of Engineering.
