Dr. Adeyeye Adekunle Olusola
World's 100 Top Young Innovators by Technology Review, MIT's Magazine of InnovationDr. Adeyeye Adekunle Olusola of the Electrical
and Computer Engineering Department, Faculty
of Engineering has been chosen as one
of the world's 100 Top Young Innovators
by Technology Review, MIT's Magazine of
Innovation.
The TR100, chosen annually by Technology
Review, MIT's award-winning magazine of
Innovation, consists of 100 young individuals
whose innovative work in business and
technology has a profound impact on today's
world. Nominees are recognized for their
contribution in transforming the nature
of technology in industries such as biotechnology,
computing, energy, medicine, manufacturing,
nanotechnology, telecommunications and
transportation.
Dr. Adeyeye specializes in the area of
"Spintronics" (spin dependent transport
in magnetic devices), an emerging field
of research with potential application
in non-volatile magnetic random access
memory (MRAM) and ultra-high density magnetic
storage media. In conventional random
access memory (RAM), computer chips information
is stored as long as electricity flows
through them. Once power is turned off,
the information is lost unless it has
been copied to a hard disk or floppy disk.
MRAM however, retains data after power
supply is cut off. Replacing DRAM with
MRAM could prevent data loss and enable
to control magnetic spins at nanometer
scale level using techniques developed
by Dr. Adeyeye enables the manipulation
of spin orientations for logic and binary
operations. Achieving that control and
then determining the best way to exploit
it commercially poses one of the major
technological challenges of the next decade.
The benefits are enormous gains in memory
storage density and lower power requirements.
Dr. Adeyeye recently developed a novel
method for sensing the spin dependent
transport in individual nanomagnets. This
involves the use of the strong dependence
of the coercive field on the lateral size
to create a new magnetic system whose
spin dependent transport properties uniquely
depend on the combination of spin orientations
of each part of the device.
