Christoph Adelmann
Christoph Adelmann, Ph.D. joined imec in 2006 and has been working since on materials and processes in numerous fields, including high-k dielectric, metal gates, dielectrics for nonvolatile memories, III-V transistors, and novel metals for interconnect. He obtained a Ph.D. degree in condensed matter physics in 2002 from Université Grenoble Alpes, France for work at the CEA Grenoble. From 2002 to 2006, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota, working on spintronic materials and devices. At imec, he is currently a Scientific Director driving research on advanced metals for interconnects, magnetic devices for memory and logic, as well as the characterization of 2D materials.
