| Biography |
Stéphane Masse received an M.A.Sc. degree in biomedical
engineering from Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal in 1989. From 1988 to 2000 he worked as a
biomedical research engineer at the University of Toronto and the Toronto
General hospital. From 2000 to 2005, he led the instrumentation & control
group for Hydrogenics, a fuel cell start-up company. In 2005, he joined the
VF research group at the University Health Network and became the director
of the Hull Family Cardiac Fibrillation Management Laboratory in 2009. His
research interests are signal processing and instrumentation applied to data
acquisition systems to study and treat cardiac arrhythmias.
