Bio: I was lucky enough to be born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I did my B. Sc. Honours in Physics at St. Francis Xavier University working with Barry Wallbank on electron-molecule scattering in strong light fields, I then moved to Edmonton to do a Ph. D. in Physics at the University of Alberta in the group of Frank Hegmann, studying ultrafast carrier dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures. I then moved to Denmark as an H. C. Ørsteds postdoc in the THz group of Peter Jepsen at DTU, continuing as an assistant and later an associate professor. In 2011, I decided to move back to Canada to start the Ultrafast THz Photonics Lab in the Physics Department at McGill. I am now a tenured associate professor and Director of the Center for the Physics of Materials. I served as an associate editor for Optics Express from 2016 - 2019 and chair of CLEO  - THz Science and Technologies.
