He was Chairman of the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering from 2007 to 2015 and is currently the Director of the McGill Institute for Aerospace Engineering and the co-director of the McGill Hydrogen Embrittlement Facility.

He is a physical metallurgist, researching into high temperature plastic deformation processing to control the microstructure and properties of metals. With CFI awards, in 2004 ($3 M) and 2021 ($4 M) for aerospace materials and manufacturing processes, he has developed, with the National Research Council (Boucherville), research in cold spray, which is a solid state powder consolidation method involving supersonic acceleration of powders that bond on impact, He has published over 300 technical papers in journals and holds four patents.
