Maryline Hélard

Maryline Hélard (born 1958) is a French research engineer specializing in wireless networks. Her research interests include wired and wireless communications and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques.

Life and work
Maryline Hélard (also known as Maryline Le Guyader ) received her engineering degree (1981) and her Ph.D. degree (1984) from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) (now called Supélec) in Rennes, France, as well as her post-doc habilitation degree in 2004.

Hélard worked for France Telecom (1985–2007), now known as Orange Labs Networks, in Châtillon, France, as a research engineer. In 2007 she returned to INSA Rennes as a full professor and led the IETR (Institut d’Electronique et de Télécommunications de Rennes) Department, located on the Rennes campus of CentraleSupélec. Presently, she is a full professor at INSA Rennes in the Communication Systems and Networks department.

Her PhD students have included the engineer Dinh Thuy Phan Huy (2015).

She has been involved in several collaborative research projects.
