Senior🎓
Top SchoolHugh Morison is a PhD candidate in Engineering Physics at Queen’s University specializing in integrated neuromorphic photonics, where he designs, simulates, packages, and tests analog neural-network architectures on silicon photonics operating at GHz speeds. With eight years of experience spanning academic research, teaching, and industry work on photonic Ising machines, he bridges physics and information processing to push energy-efficient, parallel computing approaches. He combines deep interests in laser physics and energy-based learning with practical RF packaging and experimental testbed development. An experienced teaching assistant, Hugh also prioritizes clear data visualization, believing that communicating results is as important as the underlying science.
