Professor Catherine Laporte

École de Technologie Supérieure, Department of Electrical Engineering

Research interests: Ultrasound image analysis to address problems in 3D data acquisition, tissue modelling and characterization, tissue motion tracking, image registration, segmentation and volumetric reconstruction - [website]

Dr. Laporte is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at École de technologie supérieure, since obtaining her Ph.D. from McGill University in 2010. Through collaborations with researchers at the Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Centre, she is working to develop minimally invasive image-guided techniques for medical interventions on the spine. She has published in some of the best fora in the area of medical image analysis. She teaches advanced undergraduate classes in biomedical instrumentation and medical imaging, and is attracting a growing team of graduate students.
