Josef Kohout, Doc. Ing. Ph.D.  e-mail:besoft@ntis.zcu.cz skype:besoft@kiv.zcu.cz | |

Head of Medical Informatics Group and Head of Advanced Computer and Information Systems at NTIS Research Centre, Associate Professor at the University of West Bohemia. He received his MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, UWB in 2002 and 2005, respectively. He has worked at the same department since March 2005. In 2008-9, he also worked as a post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Bedfordshire, UK, during which time he participated in the projects LHDL (FP6-2004-IST-4-026932) a Aneurist (FP6-2004-IST-4-027703). In 2010-12, he was the main researcher of VPHOP (FP7-ICT-223865) project. His area of expertise lies within computer graphics, more specifically, parallel Delaunay triangulation and its applications, Laplacian filtering and deformation of surface meshes, meshes registration, muscles modelling and wrapping. His recent research has focused on the development of virtual patient-specific model. In 2006, he received the award of Excellence in Research from the Ministry of Education and Youth of the Czech Republic.

Roman Mouček, Ing. Ph.D.  e-mail:moucek@ntis.zcu.cz skype:roman.moucek | |

Head of Neuroinformatics research group at NTIS Research Center, Assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of West Bohemia, representative of the Czech INCF National Node, PC member of TSD and HEALTHINF conferences. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of West Bohemia in 2004 for the work “Semantics in Dialogue Systems”. He has experience in software engineering, neuroinformatics, databases, and semantic web applications. He is also familiar with architectural and design patterns, Java technologies and Matlab related applications. He participated in a number of projects dealing with semantics of natural language, brain signals analysis, and development of hardware and software infrastructure for research in electrophysiology. His recent research has focused on more complex analysis of biosignals with emphasis on brain signals.

Jana Klečková, Doc. Dr. Ing.  e-mail:kleckova@kiv.zcu.cz

Website: http://medical.kiv.zcu.cz

Head of Medical Information System Group. Associate Professor at the University of West Bohemia. From the beginning of her tenure at the Department of Computer Science, she taught a guaranteed items related to the fundamentals of algorithms and programming at technical faculties (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Applied Sciences) and fundamentals of information technologies at faculties nontechnical (Faculty of Education, Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Humanities). In 1992 she joined the teaching of database-oriednted subjects at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, a year later at the Faculty of Economics and even later at the Faculty of Arts. She is the guarantor of the Information systems and of relavant subjects. She is a member of the Scientific Board of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague and a member of several professional advice for doctoral studies. In research, she dealt with the issue of recognition and understanding of spontaneous speech. Her current domain of interests, however, lies in the field of information and database systems. Particularly, she focuses on neuroinformatics, specifically the problem of cerebrovascular disease. The research is based on current knowledge in the field of neurology and neurosurgery. She was a researcher and co-director of several projects, including international projects (in collaboration with the University of Nancy (France), Erlangen, Heidelberg, Regensburg (Germany), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Oregon (USA)).

Tomáš Koutný, Doc. Ing. Ph.D.  e-mail:txkoutny@kiv.zcu.cz |

Associate professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of West Bohemia. In his research, he focus on retrospective and predictive glucose level calculation in different compartments. He is an author of the diffusion model of glucose dynamics. His expertise lies in applied math, parallel and distributed computational systems. He has a solid background in internal medicine.
