I’m Patrick Horlaville, a PhD student and NSERC doctoral scholar 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.
