Benoit Gosselin

Expertise: wireless microsystems for brain-computer interfaces, analog/mixed-mode and RF integrated circuits for neural engineering, interface circuits for implantable sensors and actuators, and intelligent systems for personalized healthcare.

 Benoit Gosselin received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montreal, QC, Canada, in 2009. He was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 2010. He is now a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Université Laval, Quebec, QC, Canada, where he holds a Canada Research Chair in Smart Biomedical Microsystems. His research centers on developing intelligent healthcare systems and pioneering tools for neuroscience.

Dr. Gosselin has led major research initiatives to develop state-of-the-art technologies that enhance therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases, notably by enabling detailed observation of brain dynamics in live animal models. His innovations integrate optogenetics, electrophysiology, fiber-photometry, and spectroscopy into miniature instrumentation platforms. Another focus of his work includes developing intelligent hand prosthesis controllers based on high-density electromyography sensing, powered by data-driven artificial intelligence.

Dr. Gosselin is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and has received major awards, such as the NSERC Brockhouse Canada Prize, the OIQ Génie Innovation Award, and the 2022 First Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. He founded and chairs the IEEE CAS/EMB Quebec Chapter, and has served on the organizing committees of numerous international IEEE conferences, including NEWCAS (General Chair, 2022; Technical Program Chair, 2019, 2021), EMBC (Program Chair, 2020), BioCAS, and ISCAS. Additionally, he contributes as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (2025-present), IEEE Sensors Journal (2022-present), and previously served for the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (2016-2023).
