Maxime Raison

Dr. Maxime Raison serves as Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, where he directs the LiBRTy (Laboratory of intelligent Biomechanics, Robotics and Rehab Technology). His academic journey began at the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium, where he earned his degree in electrical engineering in 2003, followed by DEA (2005) and PhD (2009) degrees in mechanical engineering. His expertise spans multiple disciplines, including multibody dynamics, applied AI, rehabilitation engineering, and neurorehabilitation. As director of LiBRTy, he leads a multidisciplinary team working on projects ranging from biomechanical modeling to assistive robotics, with a strong focus on clinical applications and sustainability. His research emphasizes practical applications in pediatric rehabilitation, evidenced through his work at the CRME-Ste-Justine University Hospital Center. At Polytechnique Montréal, he teaches courses in dynamic measurement, modeling, and rehabilitation engineering while coordinating multiple research clusters that generate 30-40 projects for 15-20 students across various engineering disciplines. His commitment to advancing rehabilitation technology is demonstrated through his lab's focus on low-cost solutions for Quebec's national and international rehabilitation network, combining cutting-edge research with practical clinical applications.
