Bio: Ilyas kandid is a Ph.D candidate at Carleton University studying under Professor Winnie Ye. He specializes in the design of integrated photonic components, particularly optical phased arrays. These devices can be used for high speed beam steering, which is useful for applications like LiDAR, free-space optical communications, and sensors. His aim is to develop a solution that is small and cost-effective in order to meet performance requirements.
