About the speaker

Sofiane YousSofiane YOUS Currently working as a Principal Investigator looking at large-scale data analytics. In particular, I lead the development of content-based video indexing search and retrieval as well as large-scale forensics using heterogeneous data sources. I am also involved in Business and external resource development, including European H2020 projects.

I have been also working on applications related to next generation security systems, in particular indoor RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems) and multi-factor authentication for physical access control. Previously I worked on computer vision related projects including:
– Visual Surveillance and Monitoring of public spaces based on Heterogeneous, sparsely-distributed camera system.
– People tracking for safely, security, monitoring and crowd management.
– Free-Viewpoint Video.
– Vision based navigation systems with collision detection and avoidance.
– Simultaneous localization and mapping.
Additionally, I also worked on computer graphics-related topics such as GPU-based shape from silhouettes.

About the speaker

hammamacheProfessor Hamamache Kheddouci obtained his « Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches » (french qualification) in Computer Science from the Burgundy University – Dijon in 2003. He received his research Master degree (ex. DEA) and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Paris XI – Orsay in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Before, in 1992, he obtained an Engineering degree in Computer Science from the National Institute of Computer Science – INI – Algiers.
In 1997-1998, Prof. Kheddouci was an Engineer in Computer Science at Kedros Compagny – Paris. In 1998-1999, he was appointed as Lecturer at Paris–XI University. From 1999 to 2004, he has been an Associate Professor in Burgundy University – Dijon. Since 2004, he joined the Lyon1 University as a Professor in Computer Science.

He attended the following french research labs: LRI (1994-1999),LE2I (1999 – 2004), PRISMa (2004 – 2006), LIESP (2007-2010), GAMA (2010-2012) and LIRIS (2012 – ).

About the speaker
LakehalDjamel Lakehal, CEO, ASCOMP

Djamel Lakehal is the CEO of ASCOMP (Zurich Switzerland & Cambridge USA), and acts as a senior research scientist at the MIT (Mech. Eng. Dept.), where he co-leads the computational multiphase flow group. He obtained his M.S. and PhD in Fluid Mechanics from Ecole Centrale of Nantes, France in 1991 and 1994. He collaborated with Prof. W. Rodi at the University of Karlsruhe as a post-doctoral researcher in 1995-1997, and at the Technical University of Berlin in 1997-1998; in both places he worked on turbulence modeling essentially. In 1998, he joined the Institute of Energy Technology of the ETH Zurich as a Senior Lecturer, where he initiated the creation of the Computational Multiphase Flow Group. In 2003, He founded ASCOMP; a Spin-off Company specialized in multiphase flow heat transfer, and develops its own software called TransAT. Dr Lakehal authored about 60 archived journal papers in the broad area of computational fluid mechanics and heat transfer. His group is heavily involved in international research in various energy sectors, including environmental engineering, process and chemical engineering, and microfluidics. He acts as a reviewer for various research bodies, i.e.the DOE (USA) and the European FP7 Programme (DG Energy).
