Profile

Benoit Gosselin (S’02–M’08) obtained the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Eng. from École Polytechnique de Montréal in 2009, and he was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010. He is currently a Full Professor at the Depart. of ECE at Université Laval, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Smart Biomedical Microsystems. His research interests include wireless microsystems for brain computer interfaces, analog/mixed-mode and RF integrated circuits for neural engineering, interface circuits of implantable sensors/actuators and point-of-care diagnostic microsystems for personalized healthcare. Dr Gosselin is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems and he is Chair and Founder of the IEEE CAS/EMB Quebec Chapter (2015 Best New Chapter Award). He served on the committees of several int’l IEEE conferences including BIOCAS, NEWCAS, EMBC, LSC and ISCAS. He was Program Chair of the EMBC 2020, the first virtual EMBC in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. His significant contribution to biomedical microsystems research led to the commercialization of the first wireless microelectronic platform to perform optogenetics and electrophysiology in parallel, with his partner Doric Lenses Inc. He is Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and he has received several awards, including the prestigious NSERC Brockhouse Canada Prize, and the Prix Génie Innovation of the Quebec professional engineering association OIQ.
