On April 27, 2011, The II-VI Foundation announced that Purdue University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering received a gift of $99,822 to support research and development in the "Investigation of Electrostatic Interface Smoothing in SiC MOS Devices to Increase Inversion Layer Mobility," to be performed under the direction of Professor James Cooper. In addition to understanding key issues in this scientific problem, the gift supports learning opportunities and experiences to graduate students.

Dr. Carl Johnson, retired Chairman and Founder of II-VI Inc. established the Foundation with his wife, Margot, to fund research and development of new technologies at universities in the United States. Dr. Johnson holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from Purdue as well as an MS and PhD in Engineering from MIT and Illinois, respectively.
