Olivier Dominique Faugeras [1] (born 1949) is a French computer scientist and director of research at Inria Sophia Antipolis. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Technologies, and recipient of the 2014 Okawa Prize for his pioneering contributions to computer vision and computational neuroscience. [2] [3]
Faugeras was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France and attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. He graduated in mathematics and physics from the École Polytechnique in 1971 and attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications for his masters in electrical engineering in 1973. He then attended the University of Utah for his PhD in computer science and graduated in 1976. He then became a junior scientist at Inria Rocquencourt until 1979. He spent a year as an assistant professor at the University of Southern California and then returned to France to serve as an associate professor at University of Paris-Sud and for his ScD in mathematics from the University of Paris VI, which he received in 1981. [3] He then returned to Inria Rocquencourt as a senior scientist and in 1989, he moved to Inria Sophia Antipolis. From 1996 to 2001, he was an adjunct professor at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. [3]
In 1989 he received the Institut de France Fondation Fiat award from the French Academy of Sciences for his contributions in computer vision. In 1998, he received the France Telecom Prize from the French Academy of Sciences, in addition to being elected a member. [4] In 2000 he was one of the founding members of the French Academy of Technologies. In 2008, together with QT Luong and Steve Maybank, he received at European Conference on Computer Vision the initial Koenderink Prize for Fundamental Contributions in Computer Vision. [5] In 2015 he received at ICCV the PAMI Azriel Rosenfeld Lifetime Achievement Award. [6]
The National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) is a French national research institution focusing on computer science and applied mathematics. It was created under the name French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (IRIA) in 1967 at Rocquencourt near Paris, part of Plan Calcul. Its first site was the historical premises of SHAPE, which is still used as Inria's main headquarters. In 1980, IRIA became INRIA. Since 2011, it has been styled Inria.

Before his appointment at Collège de France in 2018, he was senior scientist at the French government research institution Inria.
Gérard Philippe Berry is a French computer scientist, member of the French Academy of Sciences, French Academy of Technologies, and Academia Europaea. He was the Chief Scientist Officer of Esterel Technologies from 2000 to 2009. He held the 2007-2008 yearly Liliane Bettencourt chair of Technological Innovation at the Collège de France. He was Director of Research at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis and held the 2009-2010 yearly Informatics and Digital Sciences chair at the Collège de France. Berry's work, which spans over more than 30 years, brought important contributions to three main fields:
Jeffrey Scott Vitter is a U.S. computer scientist and academic administrator. Born in 1955 in New Orleans, Vitter has served in several senior higher education administration posts. He is a former chancellor of the University of Mississippi. He assumed the chancellor position on January 1, 2016. His formal investiture to the chancellorship took place on November 10, 2016, at the University of Mississippi's Oxford Campus.
Azriel Rosenfeld was an American Research Professor, a Distinguished University Professor, and Director of the Center for Automation Research at the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, where he also held affiliate professorships in the Departments of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Psychology. He was a leading researcher in the field of computer image analysis. Over a period of nearly 40 years he made many fundamental and pioneering contributions to nearly every area of that field. He wrote the first textbook in the field (1969); was founding editor of its first journal, Computer Graphics and Image Processing (1972); and was co-chairman of its first international conference (1987). He published over 30 books and over 600 book chapters and journal articles, and directed nearly 60 Ph.D. dissertations.

Shimon Ullman is a professor of computer science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. Ullman's main research area is the study of vision processing by both humans and machines. Specifically, he focuses on object and facial recognition, and has made a number of key insights in this field, including with Christof Koch the idea of a visual saliency map in the mammalian visual system to regulate selective spatial attention.
Nikos Paragios is a distinguished professor of Applied mathematics at CentraleSupélec, the school of engineering of the Paris-Saclay_University and founder, president and chief executive officer of TheraPanacea, an information technology company targeting precision medicine in oncology, neurology and beyond through holistic treatment pathways optimization.
The International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) is a research conference sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) held every other year. It is considered to be one of the top conferences in computer vision, alongside CVPR and ECCV, and it is held on years in which ECCV is not.
In computer vision, the Azriel Rosenfeld Award, or Azriel Rosenfeld Life Time Achievement Award was established at ICCV 2007 in Rio de Janeiro to honor outstanding researchers who are recognized as making significant contributions to the field of Computer Vision over longtime careers. This award is in memory of the computer scientist and mathematician Prof. Azriel Rosenfeld.
Thierry Goudon is a French mathematician. He works in applied mathematics, with interest in the study of Partial Differential Equations motivated from physics. He has made contributions on kinetic theory, which corresponds to a description of matter in terms of statistical physics. The Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics is a typical example of this activity. The kinetic framework also arises in many other fields: neutron transport, radiative transfer, and biology. He is interested in asymptotic analysis, including the study of hydrodynamic regimes and homogenization theory, establishing relationships between microscopic and macroscopic descriptions. He also works on fluid mechanics, both as regards the analysis of the equations and also the design of numerical methods for computing the solutions. Currently he holds a Senior INRIA Researcher position at Sophia Antipolis; he is the head of the team COFFEE devoted to Complex Flows For Energy and Environment.
