Prof. Deji Akinwande Receives Army Research Office Young Investigator Award

Prof. Deji Akinwande of UT ECE has been awarded an Army Research Office Young Investigator award for his research on “Supported and Free-Standing 2D Semimetals.” ARO's Young Investigator Program (YIP) seeks to identify and support academic scientists who have received Ph.D. or equivalent degrees within the last five years and who show exceptional promise for doing creative research.

Dr. Akinwande joins a large and growing group of several young faculty members in UT ECE who have received the award, other DoD young investigator awards and NSF CAREER awards.
