After a master's degree student in Film studies at Concordia University, François Pelchat decided to come back to his first callings: natural sciences. He started an undergraduate degree in water engineering and wishes to contribute in his or other society with a "scientifically" better use of water and of environmental technologies.

François was part of the team monEAU, which statistically models water quality real-time measurement of 8 parameters in an urban river of Québec’s City region. He was responsible of data qualities issued from different probes. These datas were then used in an attempt to model the comportment of the river’s different behaviors.
