Ojo
A Ph.D. student researching innovative semiconductor materials growth and advanced nanofabrication techniques has been awarded a 2022 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, in recognition of his potential for contributions to the field.
Solomon Ojo studies materials science and engineering under the supervision of electrical engineering professor Shui-Qing "Fisher" Yu. Ojo's research involves integrated optoelectronic devices with an emphasis on Silicon-Germanium-Tin alloys sometimes called (Si)GeSn.
"(Si)GeSn is a disruptive technology that can increase the efficiency and significantly reduce the cost of devices such as lasers, photodetectors and infrared imaging devices," Ojo said.
He received a U of A Doctoral Academy Fellowship and currently serves as treasurer of the U of A's SPIE "Laserbacks" Student Chapter.
The society awarded $293,000 in education scholarships to 78 SPIE student members in 2022.
