Education and career

Troccaz was born on 11 June 1959 in Sallanches, an Alpine town near the French borders with Italy and Switzerland. [1] She studied computer science at the Grenoble Institute of Technology, earned licentiates in 1980 and 1981, a diplôme d'études approfondies (master's degree) in 1982, and a doctorate in 1986. She completed her habilitation in computer science and applied mathematics in 1993. [1]

She joined CNRS in 1988 and became a director of research in 1998, in 2017 being listed as an exceptional-class director of research. [1]

Recognition

Troccaz was named a Fellow of the Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention Society (MICCAI) in 2010, "for scientific contributions to computer-aided surgery and medical robotics and for promotion of the field through involvement in the MICCAI Society and related professional societies". [5] She was named an IEEE Fellow in 2018, "for contributions to robotics and imaging for medical applications". [6]

She was given the Academy Prize of the Académie nationale de chirurgie, and named as a free member of the academy, in 2014. [7] She was given the CNRS Silver Medal in 2015, and named to the Legion of Honour in 2016. [3]

In 2022 she received the MICCAI Society Enduring Impact award [8] and was appointed to the French Academy of Sciences. [9]
