Akira Nakashima (中嶋 章[1] or 中島 章,[1] also written as Nakashima Akira,[1] Nakasima Akira[1] or Nakajima Akira,[1] 5 January 1908 – 29 October 1970) was a Japanese electrical engineer of the NEC.
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,[2][3][4][1] laying the foundations for digital circuit design, in digital computers and other areas of modern technology.[1] This is considered to be an achievement on a par with Claude Shannon, who presented a similar theory at the same time.
