Adrienne Stiff-Roberts is Jeffrey N. Vinik Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, where she is also Director of Graduate Studies for the University Program in Materials Science and Engineering. Stiff-Roberts received a BS degree in physics from Spelman College (1999), a BEE degree in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology (1999), an MSE degree in electrical engineering (2001) and a PhD degree in applied physics (2004) from the University of Michigan. Her current research interests include organic and hybrid thin-film deposition by resonant-infrared matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE); materials characterization of organic and hybrid thin films; and the design, fabrication and characterization of organic and hybrid optoelectronic devices, especially infrared photodetectors, photovoltaic solar cells and multi-functional sensors.
