Brooks Tellekamp
Joint Appointment in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
Bio
Dr. M. Brooks Tellekamp is a Research Scientist at the National Laboratory of the Rockies and a research professor at the Colorado School of Mines, working on the development of materials for next generation power electronic devices and neuromorphic computing. Brooks and his team use molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and RF sputtering to synthesize high-quality thin films with atomically abrupt interfaces.
Brooks focuses on ultra-wide band gap (UWBG) semiconductors with nitride and oxide chemistry. Using MBE, he and his team explore how chemically and structurally dissimilar interfaces can be controlled to create high-performance electronic devices. In addition to UWBG semiconductors, his work encompasses ternary nitrides, correlated oxides, and crystalline carbide thin films. These materials are explored for applications in high-temperature and extreme environment electronics, novel computing architectures, and power electronic devices.
