Evangeline POLLARD

Evangeline Pollard was born in 1984. She got her Signal and Image Processing M.Sc. in 2007 from the University of Lyons. That same year she graduated from the “CPE-Lyons” engineering school in Electronics, Telecommunications and Computing. During 2005-2006, she worked at the German Aerospace Laboratories (DLR) in Munich on the TerraSAR-X processor. In 2010, she defended her PhD work at the French Aerospace Lab (Onera). Then, she pursued her work on data fusion and multi-target tracking in collaboration with the Livic and the Université de Sherbrooke for driving assistance applications. She spend to months at Path, Berkeley as a visitor researcher. Now, she is still working in perception applications for automotive applications.
