Moll was born in Wauseon, Ohio, and obtained a Bachelor of Science
In Physics and a Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State University in 1943 and 1952 respectively.
The Ebers-Moll transistor model, and the theory of the p-n-p-n switch, came from this effort.
Moll was the recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964. Howard N. Potts Medal, Franklin Institute, 1967, and received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Edison Medal in 1991 "for pioneering contributions to diffused and oxide-masked silicon devices, transistor analysis, the p-n-p-n switch, and optoelectronics.".
