After graduating from physics at Mount Allison University (1998), I tackled my PhD (2002) at McGill, focusing on theoretical Quantum Mechanics. Not feeling punished enough, I ventured to Silicon Valley for a few years, working in the Quantum Science division of Hewlett Packard. I eventually found myself missing Montreal, and returned to a start-up company, after which I decided to give teaching a try. Joined the department here at John Abbott in 2007, and I can say with confidence it’s the best decision I ever made.
