Biography

Sacha was born in September 1985 and grew up in Quebec City, Canada. He completed his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at McGill University. During the final year of his undergraduate degree, he performed research in McGill's Department of Biomedical Engineering with Prof. Henrietta Galiana on applying signal processing techniques to detect and classify sleep apnea in children.

Sacha completed his studies at McGill in December 2006. From January to July 2007, he spent 6 months on a placement with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he worked with the Ministry of Development and Economic Planning as a government data analyst.

In October 2007, Sacha became a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, earning the D.Phil. degree in August 2011. His research at Oxford took place in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering with Prof. Constantin-C. Coussios, and focused on developing enhanced methods of monitoring damage in cells and tissues during ablation by High-Intensity Focussed Ultrasound (HIFU).

Shortly after completing his doctoral studies, Sacha moved to Columbia University and joined the laboratory as a postdoctoral research scientist. Since September 2011, he has been working on the pulse wave imaging and harmonic motion imaging projects.
