Encyclopedia
Thomas H. Lee is an electrical engineering
professor at Stanford University
. In 1994 he founded the Stanford Microwave Integrated Circuits Laboratory. He has written and co-authored several books and papers.
Lee received his S.B. (1983), S.M. (1985) and Sc.D. (1990) degrees in electrical engineering, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
.
From 1990 through 1992, Lee worked on high-speed clock recovery with Analog Devices. In 1992, he joined Rambus Inc. where he developed high-speed analog circuitry for 500 megabyte/s CMOS DRAMs. He cofounded Matrix Semiconductor, which was acquired by Sandisk
in 2006, and is also the founder of ZeroG Wireless, acquired by Microchip Technology
in January 2010.
He is the winner of the 2011 Ho-Am Prize in Engineering, informally known as "the Korean Nobel Prize." In April of 2011 he began a leave of absence from Stanford University to serve as Director of the Microsystems Technology Office of DARPA.
