Jacques De Guise

Jacques de Guise is Full Professor at the Department of Automated Production Engineering of the École de technologie superieure. After completing his Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering at the École Polytechnique Montreal in 1977, he did his graduate studies at the Biomedical Engineering Institute of École Polytechnique and the University of Montreal, where he obtained his PhD in 1984 under the direction of Prof. Fernand A. Roberge. He then spent two years at the Computer Vision and Robotics Laboratory at McGill University as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow under the direction of Prof. Marti D. Levine from 1984-1986. He then worked as a NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Biomedical Engineering Institute, where he did 3D medical imaging work from 1986 to 1990. In 1990, he accepted a position in the Department of Automated Production Engineering at the École de technologie superieure. He spent 1997-1998 as a Guest Professor at the Biomechanics Laboratory of the École nationale superieure d'arts et meiers (ENSAM) in Paris. During that time, he had the opportunity of working with a team associated with the work of G. Charpak, recipient of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Physics, on new low radiation radiographic imaging technologies.

Jacques de Guise is also an Associate Professor at the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal. He is an active member of the CHUM research center. He is the Director of the Imaging and Orthopedics Research Laboratory (LIO) of the École de technologie supérieure/CHUM Research Center. He is also chief scientist of the Imaging and Engineering Axis and Experimental Imaging Platform of the CRCHUM. He Holds the Canada Research Chair in 3D imaging and biomedical engineering and the Marie-Lou and Yves Cotrel Research Chair in Orthopaedics at the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal. He his Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering since 2011.
