Whilk Gonçalves, PSA – Expert on Lighting and Head of Innovation

“The action field of the ELS is now also evolving towards research and technological support, as a federating entity extending to the industrial network and establishing important links to equivalent research structures long established in Germany and other countries. It is the strategical interest of the PSA Group to continue its support to the ELS to reach a self-sustainable level and to adapt to the new challenges in the fields of Lighting, keeping its target to reach excellence levels.

 Hervé Fayard, Renault - Head of lighting system engineering Groupe

“The ELS Chair allow to have access to a very high-level training for students and for our engineers. We hire three new engineers, immediately operational with a high level in optics, systems and mechatronic. We have proposed to our high potential engineers coming from all local technical center (Brazil, India, Romania …) to participate to the complete training and participate to the skilling improvement in the local technical center for lighting features.

 Christophe LE LIGNÉ, CTO Valeo Visibility System

"ELS Chair is addressing a critical need for the upskilling of our technical project managers. With the tremendous increase of electronic content and system complexity, we need to have technical project managers able to develop a system vision, encompassing the constraints of embedded systems, optical rules and mechatronics environment. 

Thanks to the ELS program, we can upskill internally and hire externally engineers that are directly able to take the job.

We are counting on the ELS master to increase the number of students according to our global footprint."

 Dr. Rainer Neumann, GTB Chair WG SVP

“As the chairman of the research group in GTB , where we collaborate with many research institutes and universities in order to get objective and reliable results of the upcoming new technologies in automotive Lighting we do have developed very good relationship to ELS and Dr. Sheherazade Azouigui with our project : parking and deparking signals in automotive traffic.

The results were clear and have been worked out with high accuracy. 

Prof. Dr. Cornelius Neumann, Optische Technologien, KIT

“The Light Technology Institute of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) collaborates with ELS on automotive lighting communication projects. We successfully started with three subject studies for the Groupe de Travail Bruxelles (GTB) on safety aspects of projected lighting symbols. We actually plan a joint project about Communicative Light (CoLi) and applied for a French-German founding by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Agence National de la Recherche (ANR).

Wojciech Fujarski, Poland – Student, now in Marelli, Poland

“When I think of my one year in the ELS, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better engineer, but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. Through projects with incredibly supportive classmates, and professors who were nothing short of champions, I was challenged to do a project on a headlamp and tail lamp with all the technical assumptions which I never did before. That project played a central role in my work, as designing is vital to thinking, to planning, to imagination, to communication, and to engagement.

Harpreet Singh, India – Student, now in Expleo France

“ELS got my attention because of its course in Automotive lighting as it was exactly what I was looking for to improve my competence. Here I was trained in three different schools from where I gained the knowledge of automotive lighting design, optics and electronics.

Having been shaped in part by the collegial and creative, yet rigorous, environment at ELS, I found myself able to communicate, innovate, and collaborate in ways that enabled me to become a successful engineer and eventually to find a rewarding career in a big enterprise. In my current role as professional design engineer, I work with a team and I draw every day on the dispositions I developed during my time at ELS. It was a wonderful time in my life, and the best educational experience I have ever had.

Amada Vieira-Fernandes, Brazil – Student, now in Renault France

“For me, the ELS master was an opportunity to learn more about the field I was going to start working with after the end of the master. A great part of my decision to join the ELS was being able to sink in knowledge I may even already had from my previous studies as well as to acquire experience on such a specific application field as Embedded Lighting can be. Learning methods are intense but still based on the best way of learning, which is by practicing: from the benchmarking study to the applied transversal project, all design, mechanical and electrical bases were covered by all team members

Cameron Betz, Spain – Student, now in Valeo USA

“I think the ELS Master helped me to have a broad, transversal scope of our worldwide automotive industry and automotive lighting design. I understand better the challenges faced by my colleagues from the mechanics and optics departments, as well as the ability to anticipate the wants and needs from our customers.

The ELS Master has certainly benefited my career in the automotive lighting industry. 

 Following the ELS Master, I have been promoted from System engineer to Electronic Design Leader (EDL) and now to EDL team leader.
