Benjamin MacLellan earned his Honours Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Waterloo (Canada) in 2018, with a Minor in Biophysics. Throughout his undergraduate degree, he worked with the Optical Biomedical Imaging Group at the University of Waterloo on the development of ultra-high resolution Optical Coherence Tomography systems and used these systems to investigate the progress of ophthalmic diseases. He first joined the Nonlinear Photonics Group as a recipient of the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award, working on using phase modulation to control high-dimensional, frequency-bin photons. In 2018, he returned to begin his Masters of Science at INRS, continuing his investigation into the design of high-dimensional quantum logic gates and using machine-learning techniques to design new experiments in optical signal processing.
