|
Sebastian Lopienski is CERN’s deputy Computer Security Officer. He works on
security strategy and policies; offers internal consultancy and audit
services; develops and maintains security tools for vulnerability assessment
and intrusion detection; provides training and awareness raising; and does
incident investigation and response. During his work at CERN since 2001,
Sebastian has had various assignments, including designing and developing
software to manage and support services hosted in the CERN Computer Centre;
providing Central CVS Service for software projects at CERN; and development
of applications for accelerator controls in Java. He graduated from the
University of Warsaw (MSc in Computer Science) in 2002, and earned an MBA
degree at the Enterprise Administration Institute in Aix-en-Provence in
2010. His professional interests include software and network security,
distributed systems, and human aspects of information security. |
| Pere Mato Vila |

|
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. |

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. |

|
Alberto Pace is a member if the IT department at CERN where he
leads the Data Management group ensuring a coherent development process for
Physics Data management activities, strongly driven by operational and user
needs. He has more than 20 years experience in computing services,
infrastructure, software engineering, accelerator control and accelerator
operation. He graduated in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Milano
(Italy) in 1987. |
