Professor John Wolfe received his B.S. and PhD. in physics from the University of Rochester in 1967 and 1973 respectively. He joined the department in 1976 after holding post-doctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven in Belgium. Dr. Wolfe served as chairman of the ECE Department in 1996/97 where he was instrumental in establishing the M.E.E. program in Telecommunications. He began his current position as Interim Dean of the College of Engineering in 1997.

 
-• Research and Academics

Dr. Wolfe has developed a research laboratory in microfabrication. He has worked on high density electron beam addressed archival storage schemes with the goal of developing a library system providing access to the Library of Congress. His current areas of research are integrated circuit metallization, resist evaluation, ion beam lithography, and super-conducting thin films for microwave and high current applications.
