Bio
Michal Bajcsy joined the Institute for Quantum Computing in 2014 as an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and was promoted to associate professor in 2020.
Michal received both his PhD in Applied Physics and his Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
His doctoral work was done under the supervision of Mikhail Lukin and included a demonstration of stationary light pulses and studies of interactions between tightly confined cold atoms and few-photon pulses in a hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber. During his PhD time, Michal also spent several years as a visiting student in the group of Vladan Vuletic at MIT. He completed his postdoctoral training in the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab of Jelena Vuckovic at Stanford University, where his research focused on experiments with solid-state cavity QED systems based on quantum dots embedded in photonic crystals.
His research at the University of Waterloo focusses on development of scalable photonic devices and quantum optics experimental platforms based on quantum emitters -- such as laser cooled atoms, quantum dots, and color centers -- coupled to nanophotonic structures.
