Michel Deville
Michel Deville est né le 26 février 1945 à Charleroi (Belgique). Ingénieur civil électricien-mécanicien de l'Université Catholique de Louvain (1968), il y a présenté sa thèse de doctorat en sciences appliquées en 1974. Le sujet en était l'intégration numérique des équations de Navier-Stokes par la méthode des différences finies.
En 1974-1975, il séjourne en tant que boursier OTAN au Département de mathématiques du MIT chez le Prof. S.A. Orszag. A cette occasion, il se familiarise avec les méthodes spectrales pour le calcul des écoulements de fluides incompressibles. Ensuite, sa carrière académique se déroule à l'Université de Louvain: chargé de cours, professeur, professeur ordinaire.
Depuis 1979, il est collaborateur à la division d'aérodynamique de l'ONERA (Chatillon, France). Il est spécialiste des méthodes spectrales. Il applique les méthodes numériques à la simulation directe d'écoulement des fluides, à la modélisation de la turbulence et au calcul des fluides non-Newtoniens. Il est nommé professeur à l'EPFL le 1er septembre 1993, où il conduit les travaux liés à la mécanique des fluides numériques.Il prend sa retraite le 28 février 2010. Il est actuellement rédacteur en chef de la revue Computers and Fluids.
Pascal Fua
Pascal Fua received an engineering degree from Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Orsay in 1989. He then worked at SRI International and INRIA Sophia-Antipolis as a Computer Scientist. He joined EPFL in 1996 where he is now a Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Science and heads the Computer Vision Laboratory. His research interests include shape modeling and motion recovery from images, analysis of microscopy images, and Augmented Reality. His research interests include shape modeling and motion recovery from images, analysis of microscopy images, and machine learning. He has (co)authored over 300 publications in refereed journals and conferences. He is an IEEE Fellow and has been an Associate Editor of IEEE journal Transactions for Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. He often serves as program committee member, area chair, and program chair of major vision conferences and has cofounded three spinoff companies (Pix4D, PlayfulVision, and NeuralConcept).
