Akira Nakashima

Akira Nakashima (中嶋 章, Nakashima Akira, January 5, 1908 – October 29, 1970) was a Japanese electrical engineer of the NEC.

Akira Nakashima

He got a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Imperial University of Tokyo.

Nakashima introduced switching circuit theory in papers from 1934 to 1936,[1][2][3][4] laying the foundations for digital circuit design, in digital computers and other areas of modern technology.[4] This is considered to be an achievement on a par with Claude Shannon, who presented a similar theory at the same time.
