Pere
Mato Vila |
CERN |
|
 |
Pere Mato studied physics at University of Barcelona, Spain, where
he obtained the Ph.D. in 1990. Since 1986 has been working at CERN
in a number of projects. Started with the 3081/E emulator project at
the DD division, and later moved to the Aleph experiment in the area
of DAQ and slow controls. In 1994 he took the overall responsibility
of the Aleph TPC detector until the end of LEP. Since 1998 he has
been leading the development of the core software and framework for
the LHCb experiment (Gaudi) and later the LCG Core Libraries and
Services project (SEAL). In 2005 has been appointed Applications
Area manager of the LCG project.

Axel Naumann |
CERN |
|
 |
Starting off as a physicist, Axel studied physics and math at
Muenster, Germany. In 2000, he got a PhD position for high energy
physics at Nijmegen, The Netherlands. They sent him to Fermilab at
Chicago, where he worked with the D0 experiment - which also meant
writing software from PCI drivers to data analysis code. During that
time he got involved with ROOT, slowly converting from a user to a
developer. He contributed to whatever he needed, e.g. the statistics
part, the documentation engine, and porting it to cygwin. After a
position with the Fermilab Computing Division in 2005 he ended up at
CERN in the ROOT development team. He is now responsible for the
reflection system, the interpreter CINT, and the documentation
system.

Andrzej Nowak |
CERN |
|
 |
Andrzej Nowak is a staff researcher at CERN openlab - a
collaboration of CERN and industrial partners such as HP, Intel, Oracle and
Siemens. He holds a Master Engineer degree in Computer Science from the
Gdansk University of Technology, specializing in distributed applications
and internet systems. Andrzej's early research concerned operating systems
security, mobile systems security, and wireless technologies. During his
studies in 2005 and 2006, he worked at Intel, where he researched custom
performance optimizations of the Linux kernel and took part in developing
one of the first implementations of the IEEE 802.16 "WiMax Mobile" standard.
In January 2007, soon after obtaining his diploma, he joined openlab as a
Marie Curie Fellow sponsored by the European Commission. Andrzej's current
research is focused on performance tuning, parallelism and modern many-core
processor architectures. Another significant area of his work is the
teaching of these topics at courses both within and outside of CERN.
