He obtained his Ph.D. at Université de Montréal and then joined the research group of Professor Kendall N. Houk at UCLA as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow. During this stay, he acquired an expertise in computational chemistry and used this tool to understand the selectivities obtained in various synthetic methods. His research group at Sherbrooke focuses on developing simple synthetic methodologies of broad applicability and using computational chemistry to facilitate this research process. With the support of the CNC/IUPAC Travel Award, he will attend the 23rd International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC 23) being held in Sydney, Australia in July 2016.
