Professor Ménard was born in Québec City, QC, Canada. He received the B.Eng. and PhD degree in electrical engineering from McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, in 2002 and 2009, respectively. From 2009 to 2011, he was a post-doctoral fellow with the Cornell Nanophotonics Group under the supervision of Professor Michal Lipson. In June 2011, Professor Ménard joined the microelectronic program at UQAM until September 2021 when he started to work in the Department of electrical engineering at the École de technologie supérieure. He is an active member of NanoQAM, the research center on nanomaterials and energy. He jointly manages the Microtechnology and Microsystems Laboratory.
In 2019, he was a visiting researcher in the Department of Applied Physics at The University of Campinas, SP, Brazil. His research interests include integrated optics, silicon photonics, nonlinear optics, micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS), optomechanics, and microfabrication. Dr Ménard is a member of the Quebec Order of Engineers. He has contributed to over 100 publications, and holds 5 issued patents and 3 pending patent applications. He holds or has held financial support from the Microsystems Strategic Alliance of Quebec (ReSMiQ), the Center for Optics, Photonics, and Lasers (COPL), the Quebec Fund for Research in Nature and Technology (FRQNT), Prompt Québec, PRIMA Québec, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
