In 2006/2007 he had the opportunity to study in Paris with Philippe Leroux, and, during the following academic year, he participated in Ircam’s composition cursus. As part of a Langlois Foundation Visiting Professor research project, he was also the technical assistant for Martin Matalon's composition La Makina, which was premiered at the 2008 MusiMars new music festival in Montreal.
