Ilesanmi Adesida (born 1949, Ifon, Ondo State, Nigeria) is a naturalized American〔(Naturalized US Citizen )〕 physicist of Yoruba Nigerian descent. He is the Donald Biggar Willett Professor of Engineering,〔http://www.ece.illinois.edu/people/chairs/willet-professor-adesida.html〕 former Dean, College of Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;〔http://www.ece.illinois.edu/people/profile.asp?iadesida〕 and since 2007, a member of the board of Fluor Corporation.〔http://people.forbes.com/profile/ilesanmi-adesida/34163〕〔(Fluor Adds Ilesanmi Adesida and Peter Barker to Board of Directors )〕〔(Corporate Executives and Directors at Fluor )〕 In May 2012, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois selected Adesida to be the next vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost of the Urbana campus; a position he held from August 15, 2012.〔http://news.illinois.edu/news/12/0510provost.html〕 Adesida's field of academic research is nanotechnology with special emphasis on high speed devices used in communications. He has held posts as director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, professor of materials science and engineering, professor of electrical and computer engineering, professor of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and research professor of the Coordinated Science Laboratory, all at the University of Illinois. Adesida earned his bachelor’s (1974), master’s (1975), and doctoral (1979) degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. ==Research== Adesida is an expert in the processing of semiconductors and other materials at the nanometer-scale level and in ultra-high-speed heterostructure field-effect transistors—the sort of transistors used in cell-phones, fiber optics communications, deep space communications, and other applications. His contributions have provided insights into the limits of advanced lithography and other nanofabrication techniques. He and his students continue to work in the areas of nanoelectronics and high-speed optoelectronic devices and circuits. Recent work has focused on the development of devices and circuits in the key materials such as indium phosphide and gallium nitride utilized in high-performance wireless, optical fiber communications, and high temperature applications. He has published over 250 refereed journal papers, over 180 conference papers and presentations, and many book chapters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilesanmi Adesida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
