Thank you for the invitation, honourable members.
I hold a BSc in physics from the University of Montreal. I received a PhD in nuclear physics at Yale University back in 1966. I then worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories in New Jersey for 21 years, with a three-year leave of absence to Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I worked on X-ray laser devices.
In 1988 I left AT&T and came to Laval University, where I have been a member of the department of electrical engineering and computer science.
I think you probably received the summary of my presentation. It's only a couple of paragraphs. In any case, I'll be going over it.
