Yurii Vlasov (born 1964) is a John Bardeen Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics[1] at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC).

Vlasov earned his M.S. University of St.-Petersburg, Russia in 1988 and Ph.D. from the Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology, St.-Petersburg, Russia in 1995.[2]

Prior to joining UIUC in 2016, Vlasov held various positions at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. In 2001-2015 he led company-wide efforts in integrated silicon nanophotonics and more recently in neuromorphic computing architectures.[citation needed]

Vlasov is recognized both as a scholar in the area of extreme optical confinement at the nanoscalenanophotonics,[3] as well as an industrial engineer who has led the transition of this basic scientific knowledge (TRL level 1–2) into a real-world manufacturable (TRL level 8–9) silicon nanophotonics technology.[4]

The CMOS9WG[5] technology developed under the leadership of Vlasov at IBM[6] and lately deployed at GlobalFoundries[7] is enabling high-performance optical connectivity[8] in supercomputers, data centers, metro, and long-haul communications, while significantly reducing cost and maximizing energy efficiency.[citation needed]

Recognition

[edit]

Vlasov has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2021, for "contributions to development and commercialization of silicon photonics for optical data communications".[9] He has also been elected a Fellow of Optical Society of America in 2007,[10] a Fellow of American Physical Society in 2007,[11] and a Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2015[12] for his contributions to nanophotonics including photonic crystals and silicon photonics.
