David Ménard holds a PhD (August 1999) in Engineering Physics from the École Polytechnique de Montreal, where he did theoretical and experimental work on the giant magnetoimpedance effect in magnetic wires.

He joined Carl Patton's magnetic group in September 1999 as a NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Post-Doctoral Fellow. His work here consists in the investigation of relaxation mechanisms in magnetic metals ans ferrites. He have a strong personal interest for all problems related to metals.

When not in the lab, he plays with Maïa and Danaë (my two wonderful daughters), while listening Noémi (my wonderful wife) touching the strings of her celtic harp. Sometimes for meditation, when these wonderful people are gone asleep, he is allowed to play on his renaissance lute…
