I am interested in working with motivated students and researchers in control, estimation, learning, and robotics. The group values strong theoretical foundations, clear thinking, intellectual independence, and a genuine interest in meaningful engineering problems.
I regularly consider strong applicants for research-based graduate studies at Polytechnique Montréal. Suitable backgrounds include control systems, applied mathematics, electrical or mechanical engineering, robotics, and related fields.
Applicants should be comfortable with linear algebra and calculus. Experience with dynamical systems, probability, optimization, programming, or robotics is an asset.
Postdoctoral positions are occasionally available, subject to project funding. Strong candidates are encouraged to contact me early to discuss research fit and external fellowship applications.
Competitive postdoctoral funding programs in Canada and Québec include:
I welcome visiting graduate students, undergraduate research interns, and academic visitors for short- or long-term stays. Visitors are normally expected to have external funding from their home institution or a scholarship program.
Use the subject line “Prospective PhD/MSc/Postdoc – Name – Intended start term” and briefly explain why your background and interests fit the group.
Email to ApplyThe following is a concise summary of information published by Polytechnique Montréal. Applicants should consult the linked official pages for the latest admission rules and program details.
Two-thirds of the program is dedicated to a research project and one-third to coursework related to the field of research. The work is completed under the guidance of a research supervisor.
The doctoral program develops advanced knowledge, intellectual rigour, scientific curiosity, and creativity through research conducted under the guidance of a research supervisor.
This pathway allows eligible candidates to begin doctoral studies after completing an engineering bachelor's degree, without first completing a master's degree.
Polytechnique Montréal has entered into several double degree agreements with major engineering schools. If your home institution is a signatory to one of these agreements, you may be able to integrate a master's program into your engineering training and obtain both an engineering degree from your home institution and a master's degree from Polytechnique Montréal.
Find out more about double degreesPolytechnique Montréal is a francophone university of international calibre. Basic knowledge of French is recommended for smooth academic and social integration. Research-based master's and Ph.D. programs may be completed in English, and students may take courses at partner anglophone universities in Montréal while pursuing their research at Polytechnique.
