Tell us a little bit about yourself and where you are located.
I’m based in the picturesque town of Bromont, Québec. My journey in the world of semiconductor technology began during my doctoral studies at Harvard University, where I pioneered a new piezoelectric actuator driver IC architecture. This innovation laid the foundation for the establishment of Boréas in 2017, and since then, I’ve been deeply committed to leading our team in transforming the landscape of haptic technology.
What is Boreas Technologies?
We’re not just in the business of technology – we’re revolutionizing it. At the heart of Boréas’ (https://www.boreas.ca) offerings is our cutting-edge piezo haptic driver, a game-changer across various applications.
Let’s start with our solid-state buttons, powered by the BOS0614 piezo driver and its remarkable CapDriveTM architecture. These buttons represent state-of-the-art technology, leveraging piezoelectricity to redefine user interaction. With seamless precision and an enhanced experience, our solid-state buttons surpass traditional mechanical counterparts.
But that’s not all – our piezo haptic trackpad solutions are transforming the market, providing an unparalleled tactile experience. And when it comes to the automotive sector, Boréas is making waves with innovative haptic feedback solutions that redefine how drivers interact with their vehicles.
At the core of our business is the principal value we offer – we’re revolutionizing haptic feedback. Our CapDrive technology is the driving force behind our piezo drivers, delivering low power consumption, precise force sensing, and ultra-low latency. We believe in leaving a lasting impression with every touch. Our CapDrive-powered piezo drivers are trusted by industry leaders for their innovative solutions and certifications, allowing you to elevate your products and exceed customer expectations.
Why did you get into this line of work? What’s the best thing about it?
I am passionate about pushing technical boundaries and making an impact on people. The semiconductor industry for me was a natural choice. After all, the progress in the semiconductor industry is what had the most impact on the daily lives of people. Without the advances in semiconductor technology, there would be no smartphones, no cloud computing, no AI.
Where Boréas operates at the frontier of semiconductor and human-machine interface technology, it is mostly an unchartered territory where plenty of innovations are possible which makes it very dynamic and exciting. Since any device a human physically interact with has an HMI, it makes our potential impact on people all over the world very significant.
What does it take to be great at what you do?
Starting a semiconductor company from a blank sheet of paper requires a broad range of skills from deep technical understanding of the field to investor networking to finance the first years of the company operations. If I had to name only one skill, I would say extreme perseverance to navigate the roller coaster that starting a technology company represents.
