Pierre A. Mathieu

Pierre A. Mathieu is a Full Professor at the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology and Physiology. His research focuses on electromyography (EMG), musculoskeletal disorders, and biomedical engineering applications in rehabilitation. He leads projects on muscle synergy analysis, neuromuscular control, and clinical anesthesia systems. Affiliated with CRIR, GRSTB, and REPAR, he teaches courses like GBM-6106 (Methods in Physiological Systems) and supervises master's and PhD students in biomedical engineering and bioinformatics. Recent work includes studies on upper limb muscle dynamics, pediatric cerebral palsy biomechanics, and EMG-driven robotics. His grants include CRSNG-funded projects on EMG/elastography investigations and neuromuscular monitoring.

Research interests integrate EMG signal acquisition/interpretation using surface electrode matrices and mathematical models, targeting musculoskeletal adaptation/rehabilitation. His lab develops tools like EMGSIM simulation software and Info-muscle educational modules. Collaborations span robotics, anesthesia automation, and musculoskeletal pathology. Over 30 students have been advised, with publications in Clinical Biomechanics, IEEE, and Human Movement Science.
