Sommaire de carrière

Catherine Laporte est professeure au département de génie électrique de l'ÉTS depuis 2010 et chercheure associée au Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine depuis 2012.  Elle est responsable du Laboratoire de traitement de l'information en santé (LATIS) de l'ÉTS.  Son programme de recherche a pour but de développer des technologies innovantes permettant d'améliorer l'utilisabilité de l'échographie pour de nouveaux utilisateurs et de nouvelles applications, notamment en orthopédie et en sciences de la parole.
