Moise (pronounced “mo-EES”), who now directs the North Texas Semiconductor Institute (NTxSI) at The University of Texas at Dallas, has been honored for his groundbreaking work at TI by being named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). “UT Dallas is fortunate to have Dr. Ted Moise lead its efforts to support groundbreaking research and a vibrant North Texas semiconductor ecosystem. FRAM technology has applications across many industries, including ultra-low power microcontrollers, automotive data recorders and biomedical devices, such as glucose monitors. He received the 2012 Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award from the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science and is an IEEE Fellow. “Being named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors is recognition that FRAM developed by Texas Instruments was an important technology that changed the world in positive ways, which is the whole point of engineering,” Moise said.
