Brief Bio

I was born at a very young age in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a city known for its mountain vistas and mild, rainy, weather. I attended the University of British Columbia, obtaining BASc and PhD degrees in electrical engineering. I then moved to Boston, a city known for beans and Bruins, and where the weather is snowier in winter and more humid in summer than Vancouver. I became a faculty member in the Division of Applied Sciences at Harvard University, associated with the Harvard Robotics Lab. After spending 9 years at Harvard I left (click here for the Veritoast Movie) and joined Nissan Cambridge Basic Research . After spending two years with Nissan I returned to Canada, joining the Department of Electrical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal.
