Pim de Haan is Research Associate at Qualcomm AI Research working in machine learning. My reserach interests are in deep learning with strong inductive priors. Some of these priors are about symmetries. Pim have built neural networks that perform message passing on meshes, tackling the gauge symmetry of how to orient the convolutional kernel. This work has been applied to model blood flow through arteries. Furthermore, he has worked on the symmetries of graphs and lattice quantum field theory.

George Papagiannakis is a computer scientist specialized in computer graphics and virtual-augmented reality. He is associate professor at the Computer Science department of the University of Crete, Greece and Research Fellow at FORTH-ICS, where he leads the Computer Graphics Group. In 2016 he co-founded ORamaVR, a FORTH spin-off startup company in which he serves currently as CEO/CTO, providing novel medical VR experiential training. In 2017 he published a Springer-Nature book on Mixed Reality and Gamification which reached so far more than 41k downloads worldwide.
