After graduating in Electronics from Grenoble University in France, Jean-Paul Charret started his career as an R&D Engineer in Medical imaging, first with Thomson Medical then with General Electric Medical systems, heading the vascular imaging department.
He joined Valeo Lighting Systems in 1995 to supervise the development of new technologies, and then was from 2000 at the head of the R&D at Valeo Sylvania in Seymour, Indiana. Since 2006, he is the R&D director of Valeo Lighting Systems at Bobigny, France.
Just before Jean-Paul leaves Valeo, Driving Vision News publish below the feedback of some of his colleagues, car makers, lighting suppliers Tier 1&2, and universities.
The feedback emphasizes the achievements of Jean-Paul during the 15 years he was at Valeo.
DVN as all the lighting community wish good health a still great future to our friend.
