Deji Akinwande

Deji Akinwande na Naija-American professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering wit courtesy affiliation with Material Science for University of Texas at Austin. Dem giv am Presidential Early Career Aword for Scientists and Engineers for 2016 from Barack Obama. Im bi Fellow of di American Physical Society,di African Academy of Sciences, an di IEEE.

How e stat life an edukashon
Akinwande wey dem bon for Washington, DC an im kom stat life for Naija. Im gro op for 
ikeja wit im perents. Im papa na di financial controller of Guardian News an im mama wok for Ministry of Edukashon. E go Federal Govment College, Idoani an e get interest 
for science an engineering. E go bak America for 1994, where e go Cuyahoga community  college bifor e transfer go Case Western Reserve University go stodi Electrical engineering an applied physics. During im master's digri, im lead di design of near-field microwave tips for non-destructive imaging. Stanford University accept am as a graduate student, woking on di electronic of carbon-based materials. Dem select am as a Dare (Diversifying Academia Recruiting Excellence) Fellow in 2008. E komplit im PhD for 2009. Im join University of Texas for Austin for 2010 as Assistant Professor for January 2010, an dem awod am research grants from meni agencies like di National Science Foundation (NSF), Army Research Office (ARO), di Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), DARPA, AFOSR, an Office of Naval Research, di latter focusing on high-frequency flexible 2D electronics.

Research and karia
Akinwande collaborate wit
Aixtron on wafer-scale growth of graphene, characterization andm integration, di collaboration demonstrated scalable growth of 
polycrystalline graphene using chemical vapour deposition, creating di fess 300 mm wafers. In 2011 im publish di fess textbook on Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Device Physics with Prof. Philip Wong of Stanford University. Dem mek am a sinior member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for 2013.I don mek meni advances for two dimensional graphene electronics. For 2015 e 
demonstrate di fess two dimensional silicene transistor. Akinwande collaborate with 
Alessandro Melle's group for CNR, Italy, e achieve am by evaporating silicon onto a crystal of silver, monitoring di growth in real-time using scanning tunneling microscopy. 
This research breakthrough was selected as one of di top science stories of 2015 by Diskova magazine. Di silicene wok na di most cited Nature Nanotechnology publication of similar age.Im demonstrate di thinnest most transparent electronic tattoo sensors wey e use graphene for 2017, wey dey less Dan 500nm thick and 85% optically transparent. Dis research na collaboration wok with Nanshu Lu's group. Dem fit laminate di tattoos inside persin skin like temporary tattoo,but e fit measure electrocardiography, electroencephalography, temperature and hydration. Later dem develope graphene  tattoos to watin persin fit wear for bodi to monitor blood pressure continously using di 
bio-impedance modality published in neshor Nanotechnology in 2022.Im demonstrate di fess atomristor by investigating nonvolatile resistance switching using a 2D atomic sheet of molybdenum disulfide. Remarkably, di memory effect persists down to a single atom. Di devices fit dey as thin as 1.5 nm and hav applications in 5G an fushor 6G smartphones as zero-static power radio-frequency switches, 
internet of tinz and artificial intelligence circuits. Di discovery of memory in dis systems is expected to bi universal amongst 2D materials. Im dey among di board wey dey review editors For Science, im bi associate editor of ACS Nano and editor for Nature journal npj 2D Materials and Applications,an a past editor of IEEE Electron Devices Letters.Im don giv abaut a dozen plenary an
tok like di planay tok at di 2017 SPIE annual meeting Optics & Photonics, wia im discuss di progress, opportunities and challenges of 2D electronic devices. E bikom an American Physical Society Fellow in 2017 an a Fulbright Fellow in 2018.Im go visit di Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in 2019. Two of im forma postdoctoral scholars don bikom professors, Dr. Shideh Kabiri at Queen's University in Canada,and Dr. Li Tao at Southeast University in Nanjing. Myungsoo Kim, a forma PhD student is now a Professor at UNIST in South Korea.Im bi finalist for di University of Texas at Austin 'UT System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching' Award for meni years, di highest teaching recognition in Texas.Im don du chairman for meni mejor conferences an program committees in nanoelectronics/nanotechnology like:
 Gordon Research Conference on 2D materials Device Research Conference
 Di International Electron Devices Meeting NDT Sub-committee

Akademic post Temple Foundation Endowed Professorship, UT-Austin 2020–Present
 Theodore von Kármán Fellow and visiting professor, RWTH Aachen University, 2017 Visiting professor, Cambridge University Engineering Department and Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, 2016
 Visiting scholar, CNR, Agrate Brianza, Italy, 2016

Publikashons and patent Im don author over 300 publikashons which hav bin cited abaut 20,000 times
 Im don publish 1 textbook and 3 book chapters Im don deliver over a dozen plenary and keynote talks
 Im don giv more than 110 invited talks and seminars at conferences, universities and institutions Im get 6 patents aworded or pending covering inventions in electronics and nanotechnology
