Photonics and Nano Devices Research at UW ECE includes quantum electronics, nanoscale optics, novel photon sources, and optical metamaterials, with applications in quantum science, imaging, biomedical sensing, and other areas. Our faculty work closely with colleagues in the Department of Physics and several faculty hold joint and secondary appointments in Physics.“Many ECE faculty are members of the Institute for Nano-Engineered Systems (NanoES), a NSF National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) node that hosts the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) to support academic institutions and companies throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond in designing and fabricating nanoscale materials, structures, devices and systems.

The award recognizes Wilson as an outstanding educator, facilitator and mentor, and it notes her excellence in adaptation and resilience to a broad range of learning environments, including remote learning.
A UW ECE research team led by associate professor Mo Li has developed an optical computing system that could contribute toward speeding up AI and machine learning while reducing associated energy and environmental costs.
UW ECE invites applicants for 2 tenure track assistant professors with expertise in quantum information science & technology (QIST). Join a vibrant, diverse and world-class entrepreneurial community of researchers and students who are pioneering the development of groundbreaking quantum-enabled technologies at UW.
A new $800,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator Award will help dramatically increase the capacity of quantum computing and simulation systems to retain and process information.
The National Science Foundation has awarded $3 million to establish a NSF Research Traineeship at the University of Washington for graduate students in quantum information science and technology, or QIST.
NSF has awarded UW and OSU a five-year, $5 million grant to advance nanoscale science, engineering, and technology in the PNW.
