Biography: 

Sylvain Baillet聽is also affiliated with the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the School of Computer Science at 海角社区.

Sylvain Baillet graduated from Ecole Normale Sup茅rieure Paris-Saclay in Applied Physics (France) and obtained his PhD聽summa cum laude in Physics from the University of Paris (Paris-XI), in 1998. Baillet has an international career profile, having held positions in France, the USA and Canada. He was a Research Associate at the Signal and Image Processing Institute of the University of Southern California before joining the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, France) as a tenured Principal Investigator in 2000. He became the head of the Brain Imaging group at the Cognitive Neuroscience & Brain Imaging CNRS Laboratory in 2005, at La Salpetriere University Hospital in Paris. In 2008, he took a position as Associate Professor of Neurology & Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and became the founding Scientific Director of the MEG Program at Froedtert Hospital, in Milwaukee (USA). He joined the Montreal Neurological Institute in 2011 and founded the MNI鈥檚 MEG core program. Between 2013 and 2017, Baillet was the Director of the聽McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC), the MNI鈥檚 multimodal core platform and research center entirely dedicated to brain imaging science. Under his leadership, the BIC went through outstanding growth, with the recruitment of 6 new faculty members, 9 highly-qualified support staff, and more than $6.2M received in infrastructure grants; in addition, BIC Principal Investigators obtained transformative grants e.g., a $17.8-M project to install the first ultra-high field human MRI scanner in Quebec.

Overall, Baillet has produced 250 publications and shared concrete, practical solutions with the scientific community and transferred to the clinic and the biomedical industry. He also contributed 3 international patents. Dr. Baillet has published his research contributions in leading neuroscience, biomedical engineering, medical physics, computer science, and top-tier journals including PLoS Biology, PNAS, Nature Communications, Nature Neuroscience and Neuron. He has been invited to speak at 160 occasions (73 abroad), and co-organized 50 conferences and educational events worldwide. Baillet trained 63 graduate students and 13 post-docs, who obtained permanent academic or industry positions in Europe, Asia and North America.

Baillet was recognised with Young-Investigator and Mid-Career Achievement Awards, as 鈥渁 scientist who has shown leadership and made significant contributions to brain imaging.鈥
