Building 12, the home of MIT.nano, will soon be named in honor of Lisa T. Su ’90, SM ’91, PhD ’94, chief executive officer and chair of the Board of Directors of AMD. Su is the first MIT alumna to make a gift for a building that will bear her own name.

Lisa Su led AMD to its strongest performance in the company’s more than 50-year history in 2021, bringing to market several leading-edge technologies. She previously served in multiple roles at Freescale Semiconductor Inc., IBM, and Texas Instruments.

Su earned bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from MIT in electrical engineering. She has received many honors including two named for MIT alumni who were pioneers in her industry: the Global Semiconductor Association’s Dr. Morris Chang Exemplary Leadership Award and the Robert N. Noyce Medal, the highest honor awarded by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Su was the first woman ever to receive the Noyce medal.
