Leon O. Chua’s 88th Jubilee: A Double-Eight Legacy

On June 28, 2024, Prof. Leon O. Chua, IEEE Life Fellow and a prominent theoretician in non-linear circuits, neural networks and chaotic systems, celebrated his 88th birthday. Renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to non-linear circuit theory and cellular neural network theory. Prof. Chua’s legacy is deeply interwoven with the iconic “8-shape” hysteresis loop, the fingerprint of Chua’s memristor, which he first theorized in 1971. The year 2024 (2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8) which also refers his Jubilee (88), marks this “Double-Eight” milestone.

Prof. Chua’s illustrious career is decorated with numerous prestigious awards, including the inaugural IEEE Gustav Kirchhoff Award, the IEEE EDS Celebrated Member Award, and the prestigious Guggenheim Fellow. His theoretical insights have revolutionized how we understand and design nonlinear systems, inspiring generations of researchers worldwide.

On this momentous occasion, Prof. Dalibor Biolek pays tribute to Prof. Chua’s remarkable legacy in the paper Leon Chua and His Double-Eight Fingerprint [CAS Education] [1]. This comprehensive review explores the profound impact of Prof. Chua’s work, from the foundations of memristor theory to his transformative contributions to chaotic systems, cellular neural networks, and non-linear circuits.

Call for Papers: 14th Spanish Conference on Electronic Devices

The 14th Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE 2023), coinciding with its Silver Jubilee,  will be held in València, from 6th  to 8th of June 2023 at the ADEIT Center (Universitat de València), located in the historic city centre.

Over the past 25 years the Spanish Conference on Electron Devices has served as the major venue for the presentation of the latest progress in current and emerging electron devices and technologies developed by Spanish research groups. Previous events took place successfully every two years in Sevilla (2021), Salamanca (2018), Barcelona (2017), Aranjuez (2015), Valladolid (2013), Palma de Mallorca (2011), Santiago de Compostela (2009), El Escorial (2007), Tarragona (2005), Calella de la Costa (2003), Granada (2001), Madrid (1999) and Barcelona (1997).

The official language of the conference is English. The conference program will consist of invited and contributed papers organized in topic sessions. Roundtables and other interesting events will be also celebrated. Contributed papers accepted for the conference will be presented either orally or by poster. An extended version of the accepted abstracts can be submitted to be included in the Conference Proceedings published in IEEE Xplore. There will be prizes for the best posters and oral presentations defended by students.
