+======= BIAS 2014 People =======
+====== Keynote Speech ======
+===== Takeo Kanade =====
+<blockquote>
+Dr. Kanade's research interests span a wide range of areas: vision, sensors, control, multimedia, manipulators, and autonomous mobile robots. His contributions range from basic theories to devices and total systems. He has written more than 300 technical papers and holds more than 20 patents. His contributions in vision include: face recognition (one of the earliest computer face recognition programs, and later face detectors), shape recovery from line drawings (known as Origami World theory and skew symmetry), stereo (multi-baseline stereo and the world's first full-image video-rate stereo machine), motion image analysis (known as the Lucas-Kanade tracker) and a structure-from-motion theory (known as Tomasi-Kanade factorization), and VLSI computational sensors. He was the co-developer of the concept of direct-drive manipulators and the world's first prototype (CMU DD Arm I). He has initiated, led and collaborated on several major autonomous mobile robots and various application systems since the mid-1980s, including Carnegie Mellon's driverless cars (NavLab), the autonomous helicopter (Robocopter), the computer-assisted hip-replacement surgery system (HipNav), and video surveillance and monitoring system (VSAM). Since 1995, Kanade has been developing a new visual media, which he named "Virtualized Reality". A time-varying event, such as sports, dancing or surgery, is captured by a large number of surrounding cameras, and transformed to a complete 4-D description (time, 3D, and appearance). As one of the applications of such multi-camera technology, he developed a Matrix-like replay system used for broadcasting portions of Super Bowl IIIV in 2001 called CBS "EyeVision".

+Ivo F. Sbalzarini is Senior Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics since June 2012. He is the founder and head of the MOSAIC Group.
+Ivo is a Swiss citizen and was born in 1977 in Arbon, Switzerland. During 1997-2002 he studied Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), with majors in Computational Science (Applied Mathematics) and Control. In 2002 he received his Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, which was awarded the Willi Studer Prize. Between 2002 and 2006, Ivo was a Ph.D. student with the Computational Science and Engineering Lab at ETH Zurich, where he pioneered the close collaboration between Biology and Computational Science at ETH Zurich. In January 2006, he received his PhD in Computer Science under the supervision of Professor Petros Koumoutsakos. His thesis work was awarded the prestigious Chorafas Prize for 2006.
+Ivo intermediately stayed at the NASA Ames Research Center, USA (2000), at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University, USA (2002), and at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, USA (2005). In addition, he was an invited Professor of Biology at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris, France (2007) and a research group leader in Bioinformatics at the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences in Split, Croatia (2007-2008).
+In April 2006, Ivo was named Assistant Professor of Computational Science in the Department of Computer Science of ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he developed and implemented the concept of a creative trans-disciplinary research group, the MOSAIC Group. In June 2012, the MOSAIC Group moved from ETH Zurich to its present location at the MPI-CBG in Dresden, Germany, where it was one of the four founding groups of the Center of Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD).
+Ivo's work focuses on developing, applying, and teaching particle methods for image-based systems biology. This includes particle methods for bio-image processing, hybrid particle-mesh methods for multi-scale simulations, parallel high-performance computing using particle methods, and bio-inspired optimization. Current applications revolve around the topic of Systems Biology of Development.
+Ivo is a honorary member of the Technical Society of Zurich (TGZ) and was a member of the Project Group "Swiss National Strategic Plan for High Performance Computing and Networking". Since 2013, Ivo is the Vice Dean for Systems Biology of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Cell, Developmental and Systems Biology within the Dresden International PhD Program (DIPP). Also since 2013, Ivo serves on the Steering Committee of the Center of Systems Biology Dresden, and he is co-leader of the Biological Systems Path of the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfAED), the second Excellence Cluster in Dresden.

+===== Christophe Zimmer =====
+<blockquote>
+Christophe Zimmer is a principal investigator at Institut Pasteur (Paris, France). He obtained a PhD in astrophysics from University Paris 7 and did a first postdoc at University of California Los Angeles on the physics of planetary magnetospheres and the subsurface oceans of Jupiter’s moons. He then did a second postdoc at Institut Pasteur on quantitative analysis of microscopy images.
+He now heads the Imaging and Modeling Unit of Institut Pasteur, which develops computational and experimental approaches to quantitatively characterise selected processes in cell biology and microbiology. The lab currently focuses on the spatial architecture and function of the genome and on the early replication cycle of HIV.

+===== Nadine Peyriéras =====
+Nadine Peyriéras is a research director at the CNRS. She leads [[http://www.bioemergences.eu|the "BioEmergences" laboratory]] in the Neurobiology Institute (Gif sur Yvette France). Trained as a biochemist (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, France),  PhD on cell adhesion in preimplantation mouse embryo (1986 Pasteur Institute under the Supervision of François Jacob). Then explored various aspects of animal embryogenesis and launched in 2006 with Paul Bourgine, at the time director of the Ecole Polytechnique/CNRS laboratory "Research center in applied epistemology", a transdisciplinary project for the reconstruction of multi level dynamics in animal morphogenesis, through two European projects of the FP6 program called "Embryomics" and "BioEmergences".  Born from a mathematician mother and a musician father in the countryside of Limousin (France), she can still talk about dancing, singing and keeping honey bees.
