Brief Biographical Sketch:

Born and raised in Montreal, I did my undergraduate work in engineering at the
University of Toronto before switching over to pure science. I work in a lab at
MIT, studying ways of engineering special quantum states that improve the
performance of clocks, magnetometers, and other sensitive measurement tools.

Outside of work, I enjoy guerilla catering, ecclectic reading and analogue
photography. I've dabbled at various times in music (piano, saxophone,
singing), sailing, theatre lighting, needlework, esoteric programming languages,
physics competitions, translation, and go.

I've always enjoyed teaching, and over the years I've tutored subjects ranging
from English through electronics and classical mechanics to calculus.
