White House Press Release

University of Texas Press Release

——————

Welcome to Prof. Akinwande’s nano research group’s online portal. We are
conducting basic and applied research at the frontier of nanomaterials, memory
device and applications, flexible nanoelectronics, bioelectronics, RF integrated
circuits, and electromagnetics. Our passion lies in the discovery,
understanding, and application of new paradigms to enable novel ubiquitous
systems that can address societal needs.

We are looking for bright, motivated students and scholars to join the group. A
strong work ethic and an abundance of passion is essential for our research
activities. Please click here for more information.

————————–

Deji Akinwande is an Endowed Chair Professor at the University of Texas at
Austin. His research focuses on 2D materials, pioneering device innovations from
lab towards applications. He received the PhD degree from Stanford University in
2009. Prof. Akinwande has been honored with the 2018 Fulbright Specialist Award,
2017 Bessel-Humboldt Research Award, the U.S Presidential PECASE award, the
inaugural Gordon Moore Inventor Fellow award, the inaugural IEEE Nano Geim and
Novoselov Graphene Prize, the IEEE “Early Career Award” in Nanotechnology, the
NSF CAREER award, several DoD Young Investigator awards, and was a past
recipient of fellowships from the Kilby/TI, Ford Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, 3M, and Stanford DARE Initiative. His research achievements have
been featured by Nature news, Time and Forbes magazine, BBC, CNN, Discover
magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many media outlets. He serves as an Editor
ACS Nano and Nature NPJ 2D Materials & Applications, and on the editorial board
for Science. He was the co-Chair of the Gordon Research Conference on 2D
electronics, and was a past Chair of the 2018/2019 Device Research Conference
(DRC), and the Nano-device sub-committee for the 2018 IEEE IEDM Conference. He
co-authored a textbook on carbon nanotubes and graphene device physics by
Cambridge University Press, and was recently a finalist for the Regents’
Outstanding Teaching Award, the highest teaching award from the University of
Texas System.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, MRS, APS, and AAS societies.
