I’m Patrick Horlaville, an NSERC doctoral scholar and PhD student in Physics at the Trottier Space Institute (TSI) at McGill University in the Cosmic Dawn and Hydrogen Cosmology group of Prof. Adrian Liu. I am also the outreach coordinator at TSI for the Space Explorers program.

I have a diverse research background, ranging from developing statistics for theoretical line-intensity mapping to searching for the host galaxies of supermassive black hole binaries. I previously completed my Master’s degree at Bishop’s University in the Multi-Messenger Astrophysics Research group of Prof. John Ruan, and my undergraduate degree at McGill in the radio lab of Prof. Matt Dobbs.

Biographical Information

Originally hailing from a tiny village nested in a forest located in the north of France, I have now lived in the province of Quebec, Canada, since the age of 10. When asked the fatal question “where do you come from?”, I often struggle to answer, but I like to say that I am a “french-montrealer”, embracing both my French roots and the values I grew to absorb in Montreal.
