"Medical Imagery and I.T.: the personalised digital patient"

Françoise Breton - 25/01/2012

Nicholas Ayache is the 2011 winner of an ERC grant worth 2.5 million Euros, aimed at experienced researchers. With many years of commitment to researching the analysis and simulation of medical images, he will now be able to rise to a major challenge: to design digital models of organs and pathologies enabling the incorporation of a patient's medical images and the simulation of the progress of their pathology and the suitability of the treatments before they are applied.

Jean Ponce: from photo to video

Cécile Michaut - 30/11/2010

A renowned specialist in shape recognition in photos, Jean Ponce, professor at France's École Normale Supérieure, moved into the field of video a few years ago. To support his work he recently received an ERC advanced grant. His goal is to automatically analyse and process films no matter what sequences or camera movements they contain, in order to archive, modify or restore them. This work is of particular interest to video effects designers.

Serge Abiteboul: Webdam, improved web data management

The database theory on which data management systems are based is not appropriate for the web. Within his Webdam project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) since December 2008, Serge Abiteboul proposes developing suitable mathematical foundations with, as the outcome, better quality of service and improved performance.
