About me
Jean-François Bousquet joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Dalhousie in July 2013. He is a graduate of École Polytechnique de Montréal where he completed his B. Eng. in Electrical Engineering in 2001. He also completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Calgary in 2007 and 2011 respectively, where he focused on the implementation of low-power integrated circuits applied to wireless communication. Between 2009 and 2011, he was employed as a high- speed analog IC designer at Ciena for the development of coherent fibre optics communication networks. Since he joined Dalhousie, he has developed a research program on underwater communications and technology. He is particularly interested in enabling underwater networks, using low-power electronics systems. His passion is to use highly-integrated circuits to enable reconfigurable communication systems. Between July 2019 and July 2023, he was Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is currently Associate Scientific Director of the Transforming Climate Action program in the Ocean Frontier Institute.
