Stéphane obtained a PhD (Chemistry) from the National University of Singapore. Since 2014, he has been building a research program at McGill University concentrating on developing novel analytical approaches, i.e. non-targeted analysis (NTA), to monitor contaminants and to provide a more in-depth understanding of the human exposome. He was the recipient of Agilent Thought Leader Award 2021.
