Daniel Campora | NVIDIA
Daniel Cámpora received his PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Sevilla, and has worked at CERN between 2010 and 2019. He is an expert in GPU computing and co-leads the Allen project, a GPU trigger application for LHCb. He has worked in the Online teams of ATLAS and LHCb and has various years of experience in Data Acquisition Systems in the high throughput, real-time conditions that occur at the LHC. He likes to keep up with the latest processor developments and software techniques, multi and manycore alike.
Guilherme Amadio | CERN
Guilherme Amadio is a member of the IT department at CERN. He works in the storage group (IT-SD) as a service manager for EOS and as current maintainer of the XRootD framework. In his previous positions at CERN, Guilherme has worked on performance optimization of detector simulation software, on research for porting simulation onto GPUs, and on the ROOT data analysis framework. He received his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Chamapaign in 2014, and M.Sc. degree in physics from the University of Tokyo in 2007.
Danilo Piparo | CERN
Danilo is an experimental HEP physicist and works at CERN in the Experimental Physics department since a decade.
He coordinates the Offline Software and Computing team of CMS, responsible for the delivery of the experiment's software and the distributed data processing of the data.
He previously held responsibilities in the parallelisation of the CERN software suite, most notably working on Gaudi and ROOT as well as contributing to the initial parallelisation and vectorisation of the CMS software. He obtained a PhD in Particle Physics at the Karlsuhe Institute of Technology, Germany.
Sebastien Ponce | CERN
Sebastien Ponce is a member of the EP department at CERN where he works on the LHCb software framework. He is the leader of the LHCb software upgrade targeting the LHCb run 3 and aiming at parallelizing, vectorizing and in general optimizing the LHCb code.
He has previously spent 10 years in the CERN IT department, working on Mass Storage solutions as the lead developer of the CERN Advanced Storage Manager (CASTOR), the software holding all CERN's physics data (> 150PB). He has obtained a PhD thesis at EPFL, working on parallelization of the LHCb computing software framework. He originally graduated as an engineer in the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecoms in Paris and before that as an engineer from the Ecole Polytechnique Paris.
