At the age of six, his family was reunited in England where his father, a Polish Naval officer, was stationed. Wronski received both his B.S. in Physics in 1960 and his Ph.D. in Physics from
IEEE Fellow in 1990 "for contributions to the understanding and application of hydrogenated amorphous silicon-based materials", and received the 2000 William R. Cherry award from the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference
. Dr. Wronski succumbed to pancreatic cancer on October 22, 2017.
