- <div id="speakerinfo"><h3>Fernando Perez</h3>
- Fernando Perez received his PhD in Physics from the University of
- Colorado, Boulder, in 2002, working on questions regarding the
- toplogical structure of the QCD vacuum using Lattice Gauge Theory
- techniques. He then worked at the Applied Mathematics department
- there, focusing on the development of a new family of
- algorithms for the efficient application of linear operators in
- multiple dimensions, with a focus on the uses of such techniques on
- the (bound state) multiparticle Schrodinger Equation. Since early 2008,
- he has worked as a research scientist at the Helen Wills Neuroscience
- Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, on the development
- of new algorithms and tools for neuroimaging. He is actively involved
- in the development of tools for scientific computing using high-level
- languages, in particular Python. He is the creator and lead developer
- of the IPython project for interactive computing
- (http://ipython.scipy.org) and an active contributor to other
- scientific Python projects, as well as a frequent lecturer on these
- topics.</div>

- <div id="speakerinfo"><h3>John Hunter</h3>
- John Hunter received his Ph.D. in Neurobiology from the University of
- Chicago for experimental and numerical modeling work on the synchronization
- of neurons to aperiodic stimuli and the non-linear response of synapses
- to aperiodic inputs. His postdoctoral research was in coherence and
- characterization of transient synchronizations in pediatric epilepsy.
- He left academia in 2005 for quantitative finance, and is a Senior
- Quantitative Analyst at TradeLink Securities. An avid python programmer
- and lecturer in scientific computing in python, he is the creator
- and lead developer of the scientific visualization package, matplotlib.

- <div id="speakerinfo"><h3>Perry Greenfield</h3>
- Perry Greenfield received a Ph.D. in Physics from M.I.T. His thesis
- was based on Very Large Array radio observations of the first discovered
- gravitational lens. After a short stint in communications engineering
- at Bell Labs, he ended up at the Space Telescope Science Institute,
- where he has worked for the last 25 years. He was initially responsible
- for calibrating the Faint Object Camera for the Hubble Space Telescope,
- but for the last 15 years has been leading the Science Software
- Branch. He has pioneered the use of Python in astronomy, and his group
- has been heavily involved in Python for the last 12 years. They have
- developed PyRAF, numarray (the precursor to current numpy capabilities),
- PyFITS, and were heavily involved in the development and support of
- matplotlib. His group is now involved in developing the science
- software to support the next large space telescope under construction,
- the James Webb Space Telescope.
