Carver Mead
Carver Andress Mead (born 1 May 1934) is a US scientist and engineer. He currently holds the position of Gordon and Betty Moore Professor Emeritus of Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), having taught there for over 40 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.computerhistory.org/fellowawards/hall/bios/Carver,Mead/ )〕 Mead is an enthusiastic instructor, and advised the first woman to become an electrical engineering student at Caltech, Louise Kirkbride.〔 His contributions as a teacher include the classic textbook ''Introduction to VLSI Design'' (1980), which he coauthored with Lynn Conway.
A pioneer of modern microelectronics, he has made contributions to the development and design of semiconductors, digital chips, and silicon compilers, technologies which form the foundations of modern VLSI chip design. In the 1980s, he focused on electronic modelling of human neurology and biology, creating "neuromorphic electronic systems."〔 Mead has been involved in the founding of more than 20 companies.〔 Most recently, he has called for the reconceptualization of modern physics, revisiting the theoretical debates of Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein and others in light of later experiments and developments in instrumentation.〔
== Early life and education ==
Carver Andress Mead was born in Bakersfield, California and grew up in Kernville, California. His father worked in a power plant at the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, owned by Southern California Edison Company. Carver attended a tiny local school for some years, then moved to Fresno, California to live with his grandmother so that he could attend a larger high school. He became interested in electricity and electronics while very young, seeing the work at the power plant, experimenting with electrical equipment, qualifying for an amateur radio license and in high school working at local radio stations.〔
Mead studied electrical engineering at Caltech, getting his BS in 1956, his MS in 1957, and his PhD degree in 1960.
