I was born in the small town of Rivière-du-Loup, on the St-Lawrence river, in Québec province (Canada). I got interested in physics while I was in high school. After a 6 month trip to Europe, I moved to Montréal to pursue my undergraduate studies in physics and mathematics. The combined program was hard but very interesting, and turned out being a very good preparation to graduate work. I stayed in Université de Montréal for my master thesis project, under the supervision of Laurent J. Lewis. I went to Cornell University for my doctoral studies, where I started working on phase retrieval algorithms with Veit Elser. I started working in August 2007 at the Swiss Light Source, at the Paul Scherrer Institut. Je suis né dans la petite ville de Rivière-du-Loup, sur le fleuve St-Laurent, au Québec (Canada). Mon intérêt pour la physique est graduellement apparu au cours de mes études secondaires. Après un voyage de 6 mois en Europe, j'ai continué mes études à l'Université de Montréal dans un programme bidisciplinaire de physique et de mathématiques. Ce programme était difficile mais très stimulant, et s'est avéré une excellente préparation pour les études supérieures. Après mon baccalauréat et une maîtrise en théorie de la matière condensée (sous la direction de Laurent J. Lewis), j'ai poursuivi mes études de doctorat à l'université Cornell. Mon projet de recherche, avec Veit Elser, porte sur le développement d'algorithmes de reconstruction. Depuis août 2007, je suis chercheur post-doctoral à la "Swiss Light Source", le synchrotron du Paul Scherrer Institut.
