  Pointe-Claire Optical system designer at MPB communications (Space Photonics division). I am mainly involved in the development of two optical instruments. 1) GHGSat: Optical payload for a nanosatellite mission. I am involved in the design (optical and mechanical) and I am the lead for the integration and verification of the payload. The remote sensing instrument, will be used to characterize the emission of greenhouse gas sources from orbit.

I am responsible for the optical design of the rover based LIBS instrument. I am leading the design, the integration and the testing of the system. This system is an demonstration prototype for future lunar or mars missions.



Laser Processing and Plasmonics Laboratory (LP2L) Laboratoire de plasmonique et de procédés laser

  École Polytechnique de Montréal A biosensor combining plasmonics and electrochemistry was fabricated for this project. Gold interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) were used as a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) propagation surface and as electrodes for impedance measurements. For this project, I optimized the process to fabricate IDEs using laser processes (for fast prototyping) on a gold thin layer in order to keep good SPR properties, we showed the different sensitivity of the two techniques for different kind of samples and we… Show more A biosensor combining plasmonics and electrochemistry was fabricated for this project.

The experiments showed specific attachment of the complementary oligonucleotides compared to the non-complementary ones. Show less



Jeux de la physique

• Président du comité organisateur

  • Apr 2011 - Mar 2012

  Région de Montréal, Canada Le but des jeux de la physique est d'organiser un évènement de réseautage entre les étudiants universitaires en physique ou génie physique du Québec. L'évènement est une compétition entre les différentes associations au niveau technique, académique et sportif.

  Optimization of a LIBS system (laser induced breakdown spectroscopy) used to characterize galvanizing baths. This project has two parts: 1) The effect of loss of energy of the laser due to aging of the diode pumps was characterized in order to increase the useful life of those diodes. 2) The analysis of galvanization baths with a different base composition was analysed in order to have a wider field of application with the instrument.
