Brice
Copy is software project leader at CERN where he has been working since
2002. After developing web-based project management tools for large CERN
projects during six years, Brice is now applying his software expertise to
industrial control systems engineering and cybersecurity research (as part
of the CERN Openlab).
Prior to coming to CERN, Brice worked as software engineer at the Oracle
European development centre (Reading, UK) where he contributed to UML
modeling tools and Java development frameworks.
He obtained a MSc in "Distributed Applications and Networks" from the
University of Kent at Canterbury (UK) in 2000.

Lopienski |
CERN |
|
 |
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 |
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.

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.
