INTRODUCTION
Prior to joining the University of Alberta in January, 2007, Dr. Cadien was an Intel Fellow. This is the most senior technical position at Intel Corporation and is recognition of outstanding technical contributions and leadership at the company. There are approximately 50 fellows out of an employee population of about 90,000.

Dr. Cadien has made many significant breakthroughs in all aspects of chemical mechanical polishing which are documented in his many patents. Dr. Cadien also has been responsible for numerous breakthroughs in optical interconnects and plasmons, and in several other areas of semiconductor processing. In addition to his research and development activities at Intel, Dr. Cadien was also one of company’s intellectual property leaders and key experts. In addition to mentoring many invention disclosures, he was a member of the process patent committees that decide what invention disclosure should be patented, and he also is the owner of intellectual property for the Technology and Manufacturing Group at Intel, this group includes all integrated circuit manufacturing, process development and research, and materials and equipment development at Intel.
