Biography of the Special Session Organizer
Rachid Aissaoui received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Science and Technology of Oran, Algeria, in 1985 and the Ph.D. degree in biomechanics from the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France, in 1990. He joined the Clinical Research Institute of Montréal (Canada) as head of the Engineering Rehabilitation team in 1991. From 1992-1995, he was responsible for the gait laboratory at the Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Center, Montréal. Between 1996 and 2001, he worked as a researcher at the NSERC Industrial Research Chair on Wheelchair Seating Aids. He is currently professor at the department of Génie de la Production Automatisée at École de Technologie Supérieure, Montréal. His research interests are related to the 3D modeling of human locomotion, the development of tools for seating posture evaluation, and the dynamics of wheelchair propulsion. Dr. Aissaoui is a member of the Laboratoire de recherche en imagerie et orthopédie (LIO), IEEE-EMB Society and ANSI/RESNA subcommittee on Wheelchair Seating Standards WG/TD.
