Professor Christopher Wilson
Christopher Wilson joined the ECE department in 2012 as an Associate Professor. He has a joint appointment with the Institute for Quantum Computing. He received his B.S. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996. There he performed undergraduate research on the role of nonlinear dynamics in the nervous system. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University in 2002. His dissertation focused on the development of single-photon spectrometers using superconducting tunnel junctions. He then worked at Yale as the W.M. Keck postdoctoral fellow performing research on quantum computation and information processing using superconducting single-electronics. In 2004, he moved to Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, later becoming an Assistant Professor in 2007 and an Associate Professor in 2011. At UWaterloo he plans to continue his work on quantum information, microwave quantum optics, and nonlinear dynamics. Please visit Professor Christian's Profile Page  for more information.
