Ahmed obtained his M.Sc. degree under the supervision of Prof. Zbigniew Wasilewski in August 2020 and then worked in his group as a Research Assistant. He joined Ph.D. Nanoengineering program in January 2023. His primary research focus is the development of topological qubits serving quantum computers in 2D electron gases in InAs and InSb materials systems.

Milad joined the QNC-MBE research team in February 2022 as an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Ph.D. student to explore the development of innovative THz photoconductive antennas, particularly for sensing, spectroscopy, and communication applications.

Seyed-Ali joined the QNC-MBE research team in February 2022 to develop high-performance Sub-THz and THz sources with applications to communications, imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy.

Trevor has been a member of the QNC-MBE team since September 2020, following the completion of his undergraduate degree in physics. He graduated with an MSc degree in 2022 and started his Ph.D. program right away.  Trevor obtained his BSc (Hons) at Ontario Tech University, specializing in astrophysics.

After having graduated with a physics degree from Queen’s University in Kingston, Hadiya found herself intrigued by the physics and applications of the "very small". This led her to pursue her Master’s degree in the QNC-MBE research group.

Joseph Thomas had been the manager of the QNC-MBE Facility until November 2017. He is currently a Technical Support Specialist/Staff Scientist in the Waterloo Advanced Technology Lab (WATLab) at the University of Waterloo.

Denise Gosselink had been the manager for the Molecular Beam Epitaxy facility until August 2016. Presently she is the Bruce B Chemistry and Environment Department Manager at the Bruce Power, the world's largest nuclear power plant.
