I'm an Associate Professor and Arthur B. McDonald Fellow in the departments of Physics and Earth & Planetary Sciences at McGill University, as well as the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Planetary Climate. I am also a member of the interdisciplinary Trottier Space Institute, the Montreal-wide Institut de recherche sur les exoplanètes, the province-wide Centre de recherche en astrophysique du Québec, and the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada. I have taught EPSC/PHYS-186 Astrobiology, PHYS-214 Introductory Astrophysics, ATOC/PHYS-404 Climate Physics, PHYS-641 Observational Astrophysics, PHYS-642 Radiative Processes, and EPSC-645 Planets.
I study the surfaces and atmospheres of exoplanets by monitoring how their brightness and color change with time (for more details, read this brief review or this in-depth review). I helped found the ExoClimes meetings, which (unsurprisingly!) cover most of the scientific areas that interest me. I am the Canadian PI for ESA's Ariel mission, and a Collaborator on the JWST/NIRISS instrument. On the ground, I am on ESO/NIRPS Science Team. My students and I developped the Climate App to help explain the greenhouse effect to the public.
