Stephane Cotin |

Stephane
Cotin joined INRIA in February 2007 as senior research scientist. His
principal research activities revolve around the simulation of medical
procedures, for training and planning purposes. This involves various
aspects such as biomechanical modeling of soft tissue, mechanical
modeling of flexible medical devices such as stents, catheters and
guide-wires. He is also involved in research on contact modeling
between deformable structures, performance metrics for training
systems, and patient-specific anatomical modeling adapted to real-time
simulation constraints. Stephane is currently responsible for the
development of a national initiative on Medical Simulation using the SOFA
framework as a common platform for research, integration and validation
of new algorithms. From 1999 to 2007, Stephane was the research lead
for the Sim Group at CIMIT in Boston where he was responsible for
defining research directions and technical infrastructures for several
simulation projects, including a Chest Trauma Training System, a
Computer-Enhanced Laparoscopic Training System and an Interventional
Radiology Training System. For more information, check Stephane's web page |

François Faure
completed a Ph.D. thesis in Computer Science at
University Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France in 1997. He previously
studied Mechanical Engineering at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de
Cachan. His research interests are mostly about the interactive
physically based animation of complex scenes. François is an Assistant
Professor at Grenoble Universities and researcher in tem EVASION, INRIA, LJK -CNRS.

Christian
Duriez received the engineering degree from the Institut Catholique
d'Arts et Métiers of Lille, France, a master of science degree by
research, and the PhD degree in robotics, both from University of Evry,
France. His thesis work was realized at CEA/Robotics and Interactive
Systems Technologies followed by a postdoctoral position at the CIMIT
SimGroup in Boston. He arrived at INRIA two years ago. His research
work concerns deformable models and friction contact interactions for
medical simulations. For more information, check Christian's web page. |
Herve Delingette |

Herve
Delingette received the masters degree and the PhD degree from the
Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de Paris, France, in 1989 and
in 1994 and was habilitated in 2006. From 1989 to 1992, he was a
visiting scientist at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon
University (CMU) and the Human Interface Laboratory, Nippon Telegraph
and Telephone (NTT). He is currently a research director in the
ASCLEPIOS Research Group, INRIA Research Center, Sophia Antipolis,
France. His research interests include medical image analysis, image
segmentation, soft tissue modeling, surgery simulation, and
computational models of the human body. He is the co-author of more
than 150 papers papers in those fields. He was the cochair of the First
Symposium Surgery Simulation and Soft Tissue Modeling in 2003. For more

Michael Adam |
|
Michael Adam received the engineering degree from The Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France, in 2006. Specialized in Image, Interaction and virtual reality, he is also known as the first external SOFA user, when he worked in the TIMC lab, Grenoble, France. His skills allowed him to joined the SOFA team in EVASION lab at the end of 2006. Here he did the Maya revolution, by integrating SOFA in the most famous 3D software. He his currently working on articulated rigid objects and particularly on physically based character animation. For more information, check Michael's web page. |
Florent Falipou |
|
Florent Falipou received both an engineering degree from the ENSIMAG (Ecole Nationale Superieure en Informatique et Mathématiques Appliquées de Grenoble), and from the UFRGS (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul), a Brazilian university where he completed a one year and a half exchange. His main domains of interest are Image Processing, and Virtual reality. He entered the famous SOFA team in April of 2007, and is now a full-time engineer, integrating new components, answering users' questions, and maintaining the Subversion repository. |
Juan Pablo de la Plata |
|
Juan Pablo de la Plata Alcalde received his engineering degree in Computer Science from the Universidad Politecnica of Madrid (Spain) in 2007.
In 2005, Juan Pablo completed in France, within the student exchange program ERASMUS, an academical year at Polytech-Lille (EUDIL).
This experience allowed him to take contact with the medical simulation. Really interested by this domain, he entered the SOFA team in October 2006,
within the exchange program LEONARDO, and he became full-time engineer in SOFA one year later.

Pierre-Jean Bensoussan |
|
Pierre-Jean Bensoussan received an engineering degree from the Grenoble IT ENSIMAG in 2003 with an image processing and virtual reality specialization. As a member of the ALCOVE project team at INRIA Lille Nord Europe, he's been involved in the development of the SOFA framework during 3 years until December 2007. In 2008 he joined the Digital Trainers company in Strasbourg. There, as a RD engineer, he is in charge of the development of surgical simulators, powered by SOFA, in an industrial context. |
