Electrical and computer engineering PhD student, Trevor Blaikie, has been selected as the winner of the NAMBE 2024 Best Journal Paper Award. Trevor’s research, supervised by Dr. Zbig Wasilewski, earned top recognition for the paper titled “Optimizing GaAs/AlGaAs growth on GaAs (111)B for enhanced nonlinear efficiency in quantum optical metasurfaces.”
This exceptional work was chosen by the NAMBE Advisory Board from the papers presented at the 38th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE 2024) and published in the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A (JVST A). JVST A focuses on advancing the understanding of interfaces and surfaces at a fundamental level, while promoting state-of-the-art technological applications in surface science and thin film materials science.
Congratulations to Trevor on this well-deserved honour that highlights both his dedication and the innovative research happening in the Department Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo!
