I have only fond memories of my PhD at Université Laval. I found a very welcoming environment at COPL and a superbly equipped laboratory with all the advanced technologies I needed to successfully complete my PhD, which included several journal and conference publications. The staff, especially Professors Wei Shi and Leslie Rusch, were very cooperative and always ready to help me achieve my goals. My PhD supervisor, Wei Shi, also consistently encouraged me to explore new research areas and be ambitious in my objectives.
