Biography:
Prof. Benjamin De Leener has a bachelor degree in engineering from the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium and completed his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at Polytechnique Montreal. Following his Ph.D., Benjamin integrated the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University as an HBHL postdoctoral fellow, working on developing innovative tools for analyzing MRI data of the brain and spinal cord, with the objective of improving our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease. Benjamin’s research has been awarded at several occasions, including the best Master and Ph.D. thesis, best presentations at local and international conferences and the Étudiant-Chercheur Étoile award from the FRQNT. Benjamin is also an entrepreneur, as he has started a company leveraging artificial intelligence and photonics for developing sensing technologies for agriculture. Recently, Benjamin integrated with the department of computer engineering and software engineering at Polytechnique Montreal, as an Assistant Professor, focusing on computational pediatric neuroimaging.
