Congratulations to Karl! He has been selected as the Julius A. Stratton Professor in Electrical Engineering and Physics for a five-year renewable term beginning July 1, 2025.

This chair was established in the late 1970s by William R. Hewlett, a founder of the Hewlett-Packard Company, in honor of Prof. Stratton, the first provost and the eleventh president of MIT. Prof. Stratton had deep interests in both electrical engineering and physics; thus, the Stratton Chair is held by faculty members in EECS and Physics or those studying related fields.
