Zbig Wasilewski is an Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor cross-appointed to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo. In addition, Professor Wasilewski is also the University of Waterloo Endowed Chair in Nanotechnology. He is internationally renowned for his contributions to the field of Molecular Beam Epitaxy, quantum-dot and quantum-well photonic devices, as well as quantum structures and devices based on high mobility 2D electron gases.
Professor Wasilewski’s research interests include Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and nanofabrication of III-V semiconductor structures for quantum optics, nano-photonics, nano-electronics and quantum computing applications. The MBE laboratory, led by Professor Wasilewski, has demonstrated the world’s highest operating temperatures for GaAs/AlGaAs-based THz Quantum Cascade Lasers. These devices are among the most complex man-made quantum structures. In addition, the MBE laboratory also originally developed the In-flush method, which is the best technique for creating and fine-tuning MBE-grown InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) systems.
Professor Wasilewski is a co-author of close to 500 refereed journal articles and conference proceedings with some of the highest citation records in the field (over 12,000 citations to his work with an h-index of 54). In 2012, Professor Wasilewski was awarded the title of Professor of Physics by the President of Poland, in recognition of his exceptional track record of international standing research and his role in developing the field of GaN-based optoelectronics in Poland.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
