Future graduate students

Electrical and computer engineering is pleased to welcome two new first-year students to its cohort, through the Schulich Leader Scholarships program. Awarded annually to 100 high school students across Canada, the Schulich Leader Scholarships are granted to exceptional students who show great entrepreneurial promise in the field of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) and its Members have elected this year’s new Fellows and named the incoming class of the RSC College.

One hundred and one new Fellows have been elected by their peers for their outstanding scholarly, scientific and artistic achievement. Recognition by the RSC for career achievement is the highest honour an individual can achieve in the Arts, Social Sciences and Sciences. One of those newly elected Fellows is electrical and computer engineering professor, Kerstin Dautenhahn.

Dr. Zbigniew (Zbig) Wasilewski, a professor and Director of the QNC-MBE Facility in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), has been elevated to Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This prestigious distinction recognizes his outstanding contributions to molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth technology and photonic devices.

The grade of IEEE Fellow is reserved for a select group of IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments have made a lasting impact across IEEE fields of interest.
