Tso-Ping (T.P.) Ma, the Raymond J. Wean Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics and pillar of the SEAS community for nearly 50 years, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2021, at the age of 75, after a brief illness.
Ma was an internationally recognized pioneer for his contributions to semiconductor science and technology - in particular, breakthroughs in advanced gate dielectrics, which paved the path for high-k dielectrics and extended the scaling of CMOS technology. His research also generated fundamental and lasting impacts on many other applied physics fields, notably ferroelectrics and ionizing radiation sciences. Ma was also an inspiring mentor, nurturing countless students, many of whom went on to become some of the most prominent and groundbreaking leaders in the semiconductor industry.
