Abstract

The Special Topic "Native Defects, Impurities and the Electronic Structure of Compound Semiconductors" is dedicated to Dr. Wladyslaw (Wladek) Walukiewicz, our esteemed colleague who passed away on November 9, 2022, at age 76. It is not often that a scientist is able to profoundly impact more than one to two scientific topics in their lifetime. Dr. Walukiewicz, a condensed matter theorist by training, arguably did that for at least four. While his scientific accomplishments tell the story of a successful career and valuable contributions, it does not convey the entire story. For the rest, one has only to look at the community of researchers he brought together across the globe. Dr. Walukiewicz conducted his work with curiosity, integrity, and respect for others that elevated those around him. Here, we pay tribute to Dr. Walukiewicz's ideas and the legacy he leaves behind.
