Boris Braverman attended the University of Toronto for his B.Sc., and subsequently obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology working in the group of Vladan Vuletic, where he built an experiment for demonstrating precision improvements in optical lattice clocks using quantum entanglement. He is presently a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Robert Boyd at the University of Ottawa.
His research in the Boyd group focuses on studying the generation, manipulation, and detection of high-dimensional entangled states of light, with applications to quantum imaging and communication.
