Dr. Mathieu Tousignant
PhD - 2023
When Mat first learned of flexible televisions and phones, he became fascinated by the field of organic electronics and decided to pursue his graduate studies with the Lessard Research Group. When not trying to design environmentally friendly and flexible electronics, Mat can be found teaching his dog Winston new tricks, running, or playing video games with his friends!
