"Stéphane Germain founded GHGSat in 2011 to answer a market need for consistent, high quality measurements of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial facilities worldwide.

Mr. Germain has over 25 years of experience in aerospace engineering, project management, and business development. He has held senior management positions over a period of 10 years in both small and large Canadian aerospace companies. Prior to these positions, he was a consultant for several years with Bain & Company, a leading international strategy consulting firm, working for Fortune 500 companies in industries ranging from forestry to aerospace. At the start of his career, he worked as an engineer and project manager at Spar Aerospace.

Mr. Germain graduated from Queen’s University (Canada) with a B.Sc. (Engineering Physics) in 1991 and a Masters in Business Administration from INSEAD (France) in 1994. "

"I'm an experimental cosmologist and long-wavelength instrumentalist, currently employed as Assistant Professor at the Dunlap Institute and Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. I'm currently actively recruiting both undergraduate summer researchers and graduate students interested in cosmology and microwave/radio instrumentation. My primary research interests involve the Large Scale Structure (LSS) in the Universe. By studying its properties and evolution, we can make firm statements about the physical processes which must have been active. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- its size, the LSS is difficult to observe, and specialized instruments and surveys are required to study it. I work on two such instruments, the South Pole Telescope (SPT), and the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). More locally, I've recently become involved in a Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) project to study pulsar scintillation. Using the once-pioneering and recently re-commissioned Algonquin Radio Observatory (ARO), along with India's Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), we aim to use interstellar plasma lensing to resolve motion in the pulsar emission. Prior my current position, I was a postdoc in the McGill Cosmology Instrumentation Lab, working with Matt Dobbs. For most of 2008 I lived in the Antarctic as a winterover for SPT, and before that I was a graduate student at the University of Chicago. While there, I spent a lot of time on outreach projects, particularly within the MSCOPE program, working in and developing exhibits for the Museum of Science and Industry and Adler Planetarium, some of which are still in use. Beyond work pursuits, I enjoy fresh air & sunshine: cycling, hiking, climbing, kayaking, really anything that'll get me outside and into the world. I dabble in photography, make a mean chocolate truffle, and spend far too much time fiddling with computers."

"Dr. Michael Daly is a Professor and holds the York University Research Chair in Planetary Science. He earned degrees in Engineering Physics from both Queens and McMaster. His research interests focus on answering a variety of planetary science questions using custom instrumentation in the laboratory or in-situ. Dr. Daly is currently leading science operations of Canada’s OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter that will operate around asteroid Bennu throughout 2019. He also works in the area of deep-UV Raman spectroscopy and is currently building a $3.5M planetary surface simulation facility. Mike has been the Undergraduate Program Director for York’s unique Space Engineering Program and the acting director for the Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science. Prior to joining York University, he led the engineering of Canada’s first instruments to operate on Mars and the design of the cameras in the Dextre robot’s end-effectors. Recently, Dr. Daly was awarded the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute’s 2018 McCurdy award. This award is conferred for the the most significant contribution made in recent years toward the advancement of science and technology in aeronautics and space exploration."
