Dr. Pawel Hawrylak received PhD in Condensed Matter Theory from the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky, USA, in 1984, did postdoctoral research at Brown University, Providence, RI, USA, and joined the National Research Council Canada (NRC) in 1987. He is currently Principal Research Officer and Leader of the Quantum Theory Group at the Institute for Microstructural Sciences (IMS) as well as Adjunct Professor of Physics at the University of Ottawa and a member of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIAR) Nanoelectronics Programme. In 1996, Dr. Hawrylak was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society, in 1999 he received the Humboldt Research Award, in 2002 he received the Canadian Association of Physicists’ Brockhouse Medal for outstanding contributions to condensed matter physics, and in 2003 NRC Outstanding Research Award for the development of "single spin transistor". In 2005 Dr.Hawrylak was appointed “Professor Titular of Physical Sciences” by the President of Poland and in 2006 was appointed Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. Dr. Hawrylak is a co-author of the book, Quantum Dots, published by Springer-Verlag (1998), and is author and co-author of well over 150 other publications. Dr. Hawrylak is an Associate Editor of Canadian Journal of Physics, is a member of the Editorial Boards of Physica E: low dimensional structures, Solid State Communications, and has been elected secretary of International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) Commission on Semiconductors in 2005. He serves on International Program and Advisory Committees of numerous conferences and meetings. His interests in last 20 years were focused on theoretical and computational NanoScience, and in particular on the electronic and optical properties of correlated electrons in semiconductor nanostructures for quantum information, nano-spintronics, and nano-photonics.
