Pascal FuaPascal 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).
Adam James ScholefieldAdam Scholefield received the MEng in Electric and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London in 2007.After a brief interuption of studies to compete in the Olympic Games, he received the PhD from the Communications and Signal Processing Group of Imperial College in 2013. His thesis was titled “Quadtree Structured Approximation Algorithms” and focused on image approximation algorithms with applications in image restoration.Since June 2014, he has served as a postdoctoral researcher in the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV) at EPFL.
Michalina Wanda PacholskaI’m quite bad at following a simple path. I studied inter-faculty math and science studies (mostly mathematics, some physics with just a pinch of chemistry and biology) at University of Warsaw. In 2016 I finished Masters with specialisation in topology and set theory. My master thesis was in (mathematical) signal processing, and I’ve been under guidance of Computational Biology Group. Then I have done an internship at Google Mountain View where I worked on C data processing pipeline. Came back to Europe to do PhD in computer science at EPFL, where I tried working on physically based rendering only to go back to settle in LCAV. Signal processing led me to Fourier optics and playing with lasers in the Galata Laboratory, but as cool it sounds, I wandered off towards localisation and SLAM. Oh, and I had a break last year, I went for an internship to DeepMind to fold some proteins.In the free time I draw cows for Helvetic Coding Contest :)
