Before joining UW in May 2007, he had been a Research Scientist at Xerox Research Centre of Canada for 8 years,  where he was involved in conducting and leading research in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) and photoreceptor imaging devices.

 

Aziz research contributions are widely cited in the organic electronics community. He is especially renowned for his ground breaking work on degradation phenomena in OLEDs, and  several of his papers on the subject are considered among the seminal contributions in the field;  several exceeding the 100 citations milestone.  He has several inventions including the industry’s benchmark long-life and thermally-stable OLED and the contrast enhancing Black Cathode^TM Technology.  He holds 28 US patents with 30 more patents still pending. 

 

Aziz graduated from McMaster University in 1999 where he obtained a Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering. Prior to that, he completed his undergraduate work at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, where he also met his wife, Hala.  They live with their daughter Celine, in Oakville. He spends his spare time mostly with family and friends.  He enjoys nature, hiking, biking, and reading.
