Bennet Fischer received his Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Engineering Physics and Photonics from the Munich University of Applied Sciences (MUAS) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. During his studies, he specialized himself in fiber optics and fiber optical sensing. During his Master’s thesis, which was conducted in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique-Centre Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications (INRS-EMT) under the supervision of Prof. Roths (MUAS) and Prof. Ruediger (INRS-EMT), he investigated the structural behavior of fiber Bragg gratings exposed to higher temperatures via Raman spectroscopy. In October 2017, he joined the INRS-EMT as a PhD student under supervision of Prof. Morandotti where he is investigating neuromorphic photonic platforms and their applications.
