Short-bio: Prof. Pradalier is Associate Professor at Georgia Tech Europe,
the French campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology (a.k.a. Georgia
Tech) since September 2012. He defended his “Habilitation à Diriger des
Recherches” (Authority to Supervise Research) in 2015 on the topic of
“Autonomous Mobile Systems for Long-Term Operations in Spatio-Temporal
Environments” at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (INPT). His
objective is to extend the activity of the CNRS IRL2958 GT-CNRS towards
robotics, leveraging on one side the strong robotic research inside CNRS and
on the other side the collaboration potential with the Robotics and
Intelligent Machines (RIM) laboratory at GT. At the IRL, he has been the
coordinator of the H2020 BugWright2 project, has been involved in H2020
project Flourish and PF7 project Noptilus, as well as in projects on
environmental monitoring. From November 2007 until December 2012, Dr.
Pradalier has been deputy director in the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH
Zürich. In this role, he was the technical coordinator of the V-Charge
project (IP, 2010-2014) and also involved in the development of innovative
robotic platforms such as autonomous boats for environment monitoring or
prototype space rovers funded by the European Space Agency. He is a founding
member of the ETH start-up Skybotix, within which he was responsible for
software development and integration. From 2004 to 2007, Dr. Pradalier was a
research scientist at CSIRO Australia. He was then involved in the
development of software for autonomous large industrial robots and an
autonomous underwater vehicle for the monitoring of the Great Barrier Reef,
Australia. He received his PhD in 2004 from the National Polytechnic
Institute of Grenoble (INPG) on the topic of autonomous navigation of a
small urban mobility system and he is Ingénieur from the National
Engineering School for Computer Science and Applied Math in Grenoble
(ENSIMAG).
