The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
Background
Olufemi Olowolafe has been an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware since 1995. He has an MS and PhD from the California Institute of Technology in applied physics and a BSc in physics from the University of Ife, Ile-Ife in Nigeria.
Interests
Olowolafe’s broader research interests include interconnect metallization; power devices, including solar cells and LEDs; and nanoelectronics for various applications. His current research centers on analysis of nanostructured materials, processing and characterization of electronic materials, and fabrication of semiconductor devices. Past projects have involved the fabrication and characterization of GaAs/AlGaAs solar cells, silicide formation, and metallization of shallow contacts in microelectronic devices, as well as research and development in copper (Cu) and Al(Cu) metallization, electromigration and reliability evaluations of interconnect metallization on CMOS devices and systems.
