Lance Safranek has a range of work experience in various industries. Lance started their career as a Research Assistant at Simon Fraser University, where they completed their Masters thesis using mathematics to study the treatment plans for Cyclical Neutropenia. Lance also worked as a Teaching Assistant, supervising classes and providing additional support to students.
Following their time at the university, Lance worked as a Data Research Analyst at Rentrak, where they were responsible for incorporating changes in television network carriage and solving problems through quantitative investigation and programming.
Lance then joined NaturalPoint as a Software Engineer, where they developed and maintained an Unreal Engine Plugin for optical motion tracking. Lance also designed and implemented sensor fusion algorithms for hardware integration into game engines.
Currently, Lance is employed at PreAct Technologies as a Senior Simulation Engineer. Their role involves simulating new automotive sensor technology in the Unreal Game Engine and implementing computer vision and machine learning algorithms to enhance vehicles' understanding of the surrounding environment.
Lance Safranek completed their Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics at Simon Fraser University from 2008 to 2012. Following this, they pursued a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics at the same institution from 2012 to 2014.

PreAct Technologies
PreAct Technologies aims to bridge the gap between collision avoidance systems and active safety technology. Every millisecond matters before a crash, and our patent-pending suite of sensor technologies, computing systems, and unique countermeasure algorithms aim to drastically reduce fatalities and injuries in a crash. Their Portland-based firmleverages existing vehicle infrastructure to predict and prepare both a vehicle and its occupants for an imminent collision. This alone can reduce the majority of injuries from the most common types of crashes while saving the industry billions of dollars annually.Seasoned automotive experts lead PreAct Technologies, with the engineering team comprised of leaders in computer vision, optics, and parallel processing. It arose from more than 15 years of DARPA-funded research in high-speed optics and computing systems and a major investment from Artis Corporation, the leading US provider of military active protection systems.
