William S. Wong is an Associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Director of the Giga-to-Nanoelectronics Centre at the University of Waterloo.

Professor Wong received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1999. From 2000-2010, William was a Senior member of research staff at the Palo Alto Research Center (formerly Xerox PARC).

His research is focused on processing and studying electronic and optoelectronic thin-film and nanowire devices. His work includes laser liftoff techniques that enable the present generation of ultra-bright light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for solid-state lighting and novel processing technologies for printed large-area flexible electronics.

He is the holder of 50 US patents (with 35 pending) and 80 publications, including 29 invited talks and 16 invited papers, in the area of electronic materials growth, processing and characterization. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Materials research society, an invited organizer of the Electronic materials conference, and is on the Editorial board of IEEE electron device letters.

Hany Aziz is an Associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Waterloo and the Associate director of the Giga-to-Nanoelectronics Centre.

His research interests lie in the area of organic electronics, focusing on electroluminescent and light harvesting (organic photovoltaics, optical detection and imaging devices) materials and devices. The research projects range from studying fundamental phenomena in material and device physics to developing technologies for new and emerging applications, such as: mechanically flexible and transparent flat panel displays, solution process-able solar cells and printable electronics.

Professor Aziz received his PhD in materials science and Engineering from McMaster University in 1999. Prior to joining the University of Waterloo in May 2007, he had been a research scientist at Xerox research centre of Canada for 8 years, where he was involved in conducting and leading research in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) and photoreceptor imaging devices.

Professor Aziz has published more than 60 papers and holds 46 U.S. patents. He also holds the appointment of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada/Teledyne DALSA (NSERC-DALSA) industrial research chair in organic light-emitting devices for flexbile displays.
