Dr. Jean-Charles Gille-Maisani, (May 22, 1924 – January 29, 1995) was a German-born Canadian engineer, psychiatrist and professor of medicine.

Gille was born in Trèves (Germany), where his father, originally from Lorraine, was a superior officer in the French garrison. He learned German early in life and moved on to learn French, English, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Polish, not to mention he also learned Latin and Ancient Greek.

He entered École Polytechnique in 1943. After graduation, and a year of specialization at the "École nationale supérieure de l'Aéronautique", he studied at Harvard where he received "Master of Arts" degree in the newly created Automation discipline. Back in France in 1948, he entered "services techniques aéronautique" and worked in the engines and special objects. He was also a certified pilot and colonel.

In 1953 he started studying medicine, and received a Ph.D. in 1960, with a specialisation in psychiatry and psychology. At the same time, he was director of studies at ENS de l'Aéronautique and created in 1962, with Marc Pélegrin, CERA (centre d'etudes et de recherches en automatique) center which expanded rapidly, having in 1965, 70 to 80 employees.

In 1966, he left France to live in Canada, where he was already an established visiting professor. Until pancreatic cancer caused his death in 1995, he was titular professor in the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering, “Département de Génie Électrique” Electrical Engineering, Université Laval in Québec city.

Beside engineering and medicine, his fields of interest also included graphology, music and poetry. He was Honoris Causa Doctor of l'École Polytechnique of Silesia and member of l'académie des sciences de Pologne.
