Brief Bio:
Professor Wolfe received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1971. He remained at Berkeley as an assistant research physicist until 1976, when he joined the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois. He is a renowned expert on the imaging and thermodynamics of excitonic matter in semiconductors. His 1998 book, Phonon Imaging, describes the propagation of phonons and ultrasound in solids. A Fellow in the American Physical Society, Professor Wolfe has headed multi-investigator programs for the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation and is currently serving as Associate Head for Graduate Programs in the Physics Department at Illinois.
