Nobukazu Teranishi
Nobukazu Teranishi (寺西 信一, Teranishi Nobukazu, born 1953Panasonic Corporation (2000–13). As of 2018, he is a professor at the University of Hyogo and at Shizuoka University.[1][2]
Education
Teranishi studied physics at the University of Tokyo,[1] gaining B.S. (1976) and M.S. degrees (1978) in the subject.[2]
Career and research
He joined
Panasonic Corporation (2000–13). In 2013, he moved to academia, becoming a professor at the University of Hyogo and at Shizuoka University in Japan, where he remains as of 2018.[1][2]
At NEC Corporation, Teranishi invented the
pinned photodiode in 1980; the device was named in 1984. The pinned photodiode is a development of the charge-coupled device (CCD) imager. It has improved efficiency compared with the CCD, resulting in reduced pixel size and higher image resolution. It remains an important component of digital camera technology.[1][3][4]
Awards, honours and societies
Teranishi's awards include medals from the British
J.J. Ebers Award of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE; 2013).[5] He received the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering in 2017, with Michael Tompsett, Eric Fossum and George Smith.[1][3]
He is a fellow of the IEEE,[4] and of the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers (2003).[2] He has edited three special issues of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.[2] In 2006, he was one of the founders of the International Image Sensor Society, and served as its president in 2018.[2]
