Francine Desharnais was born in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada, in 1964. She received the B.Sc. degree in physics and the M.Sc. degree in meteorology from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Quebec, Canada, in 1986 and 1988, respectively.

From 1988 to 1991, she worked with the Applied Acoustics Group at the Defence Research Establishment Atlantic, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, and since 1996 she has been with the Ocean Acoustics Group. From 1992 to 1995, she was a member of the Large Scale Acoustics and Oceanography Group at the SACLANT Undersea Research Centre, La Spezia, Italy. Her current research interests are in the modeling and data interpretation of underwater noise and reverberation. She is an Associate Editor of Canadian Acoustics.

Ms. Desharnais is a member of the Canadian Acoustical Association and the Acoustical Society of America.
