Author biographies
David Střelák holds MSc and BSc from Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University. He is currently a PhD candidate at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University. His research interests include high performance computing (heterogeneous computing, algorithm optimization techniques and autotuning) and image processing algorithms.
Carlos Óscar Sánchez Sorzano holds BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering with two specialities (Electronics and Networking, University of Málaga), BSc in Computer Science (University of Málaga), BSc and MSc in Mathematics, (speciality in Statistics, UNED), PhD in Biomedical Engineering (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), and PhD in Pharmacy (Universidad CEU San Pablo). In 2006, he received the Ángel Herrera research prize. He is a senior member of the IEEE since 2008 and that same year he was accredited as “profesor titular de universidad” by ANECA. In 2009, he was appointed as “Profesor Agregado” at Universidad CEU San Pablo, awarded a Ramón y Cajal research contract, and appointed as technical director of the INSTRUCT Image Processing Center for Microscopy. In 2011 and 2012, he was the President of the National Association of Ramón y Cajal researchers. He has been coordinating the service of image processing and statistical analysis of the CNB since 2011. In 2013, he was accredited as Full Professor. Since 2017, he is part of the permanent staff of CSIC.
José María Carazo holds MSc in Physics (University of Granada) and PhD in Molecular Biology (Autonomous University of Madrid). He joined the IEEE in 1982, being now a Senior Member. He performed his postdoctoral work at the Department of Health, Wadsworth Center, Albany, NY, USA, under the direction of Dr Joachim Frank (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 2017) from 1986 to 1989. In 1989, he set up the BioComputing Unit of the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB) in Madrid, that he heads since then. He is also the Director of the Instruct Image Processing Center and of the CSIC node of Elixir-Spain. He is full professor of Spanish CSIC.
Jiří Filipovič holds BSc and MSc in Applied Informatics (Masaryk University) with specialization on numerical computing and PhD in Informatics (Masaryk University). In 2012, he received the first prize in Joseph Fourier Award in Computer Science. After defending PhD, he worked as a postdoc at Masaryk University and University of Vienna. Since 2017, he has been the head of High Performance Computing research group in CERIT-SC Centre at the Institute of Computer Science, Masaryk University. His research interests include scientific and high-performance computing, in particular methods for auto-tuning, source-to-source code transformation, and heterogeneous computing and computational biology.
