Biography

Professor Raymond Lavoie is a well-being researcher, with a specific passion for the state of flow. He received his PhD from the University of Manitoba in 2017 and has been working in the United States since then, returning home to Canada to join the team at Telfer. Beyond advancing our understanding of well-being through the state of flow and how to achieve it, his research explores how consumers are impacted through their use of technologies like smartphones and virtual reality. Professor Lavoie's dedication to well-being extends beyond his research, as he is the Vice President of the Higher Learning Foundation, a non-profit organization that, among other initiatives, has created courses to be offered for credit in high schools that empowers teens to manage their mental health and to flourish. His role as a faculty member in Telfer will allow him to continue his innovative research program and to impart this knowledge on the students through his Consumer Behaviour classes.
