Dominique Chapelle is a Senior Researcher at INRIA and the Scientific Head of the joint AP-HP Inria laboratory "Daniel Bernoulli", also known as the Bernoulli Lab. His research interests include numerical methods and mathematical analysis for structural mechanics (shells, in particular), biomechanical modelling with major focus on the cardiovascular system and inverse problems including estimation and data assimilation for the models mentioned above.

Marie Doumic-Jauffret is a Senior Researcher at INRIA and the leader of the MERGE project-team (Inria, Ecole Polytechnique and CNRS). The MERGE project-team brings together researchers in mathematics applied to biology – specifically stochastic processes, analysis of stochastic partial differential equations, analysis of partial differential equations and inverse problems. Their aim is to introduce and study new models, stochastic or averaged, for the dynamics of interacting biological populations across scales, in close collaboration with biologists and physicians, with a particular focus on applications in microbiology. 

Stéphanie Salmon is a Professor at the Mathematic Laboratory of Reims Champagne Ardenne University and member of the " Stochastic and Numerical Modeling" research team. Her research interests include numerical simulation of fluid dynamics (blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid flow for biomedical applications), plasma physics and particle beam dynamics (numerical resolution of the Vlasov equation on a moving mesh), as well as numerical acoustics (domain decomposition methods (FETI), transparent boundary conditions, distributed computing (MPI), high-order finite elements, and mass condensation).

Jesper Schröder is a Research Scientist at the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics in the "Optimization and Optimal control " research group. The research of this group focuses on optimal control of infinite dimensional systems typically with constraints given by partial differential equations. The mathematical analysis of particular problems as well as their numerical treatment are investigated. Open loop optimal control problems typically involve large systems of coupled partial differential equations.
