Dr. Wayesh Qarony is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prior to UCF, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, jointly with the Molecular Foundry of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. He was also a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Davis. He is a co-author of several breakthrough research projects, including the first all-silicon quantum light source, the first scale-invariant single-mode semiconductor surface-emitting laser, and record photoabsorption in silicon optical sensors that exceed the III-V semiconductor absorption efficiency in the NIR region. Qarony received his doctoral degree in applied physics, his master’s degree in electrical engineering, and his bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Jacobs University Bremen Germany (now known as Constructor University), and American International University-Bangladesh, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr. Wayesh Qarony is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
