New ESIGELEC R&D & IRSEEM Director

Olivier MAURICE only joined ESIGELEC in early June 2015, as Director of Research and Development at ESIGELEC and Director of its Research Laboratory, IRSEEM (Embedded Electronic Systems Research Institute).

Olivier MAURICE has been an associate professor at ESIGELEC and notably contributed to the emergence of its Research more than 15 years ago. A Doctor of Science and Engineering for Information and an Engineer of the national conservatory of Arts and Trades in Electronics, he has been, among others, an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and tensor estimation analysis of networks specialist for more than 20 years, working both at component and system level. After several years of collaboration with VALEO, EADS and PSA Peugeot Citroën, he was most recently responsible for the GERAC laboratory in Trappes, a subsidiary of Thales.

« I am delighted to offer my experience to the Research and Transfer of Technology activity of ESIGELEC and its laboratory which will now position itself as a research centre focussed on embedded electronics, robotics and environments, on the theme of Cybernetics »,  said Olivier Maurice. « This theme brings together its three centres of expertise: automatic, electronics and computers and meets the needs of the region while allowing us to clearly position ourselves nationally and internationally.  The direct applications of such research into prototyping has already been conducted for regional and national corporations for use in real contexts. In the framework of partnerships and building on CISE " Embedded Systems Integration Campus", set up in 2011 which hosts technological platforms rarely available at national level (autonomous navigation, roller test bench, etc.), the team recently distinguished itself by creating robots for maintaining systems at sea (Viking project, the only French team selected as part of the international ARGOS contest funded by TOTAL and ANR); test model for aircraft nacelle electrical systems with Aircelle; creation of vehicles optimised for consumption for the Virtuose project, etc. It is therefore with great enthusiasm that I joined this team and am focussed on its development and its increased scope, for the benefit of our region.  »
