McGill has a conservative culture and a lot of history combined with a unionized environment that painted the scene for workplace environment in Human Resources. I had a great team, supportive managers and enjoyed a flexible schedule so that I could pursue a degree while working.

Great experience designing a radio subsystem on Xilinx FPGAs. Using VHDL and Verilog for design.

A nest of exuberance where youth and wisdom intermix. Working at McGill as a postdoc with loose if not inexistent supervision from an absent supervisor gave me the self assurance needed later as a chemistry director. During this time I managed to publish my work in the most cited journals and increase my scientific impact factor.

Working as research assistant in the food science plant at McGill University was truly an enriching experience. As a graduate student it helped me broaden my horizons in the aspects of food quality, food safety, food microbiology and analytical techniques.
