Simon received a B.Eng. and M.Sc.A. in Electrical Engineering from Université de Sherbrooke, Canada and worked at Teledyne DALSA. His research interests include analog and mixed-signal design and power electronics. More specifically, he is interested in finding new ways to integrate heterogeneous technology at a system level. For instance, design new power converter topology to enable the integration of MEMS actuators in portable applications, thus enabling new functions for these devices.
