He received his B.Sc. in chemistry in 1997 from Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2002 from Université Laval under the supervision of Michel Pézolet and Robert E. Prud'homme. He joined the faculty at Université de Montréal in 2005 after a postdoctoral fellowship with John F. Rabolt and D. Bruce Chase at the University of Delaware. His research interests include the structure and properties of electrospun nanofibers, molecular glasses, supramolecular polymer complexes, and mussel-based biomaterials, in addition to applying novel infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques.
