Daniel obtained a technical diploma in forestry (1992), a Bachelor in biology (1998) from University of Montreal and a Master (2000) from UQAM under the supervision of Yves Bergeron and the co-supervision of Sylvie Gauthier. His research project was on the historical reconstitution of forest fire and forest dynamics near the Réservoir Gouin region (Haute-Mauricie).
Since then, he is also collaborating for different projects for the Chair NSERC-UQAT-UQAM in Sustainable Forest Management 
, where he developped a expertis in database (Access-MySQL), GIS, JAVA, WEB programming (ASP-PHP-JavaScript).
