She was a work package leader of H2020 FETHPC project ANTAREX (AutoTuning and Adaptivity appRoach for Energy efficient eXascale HPC systems, http://specs.fe.up.pt/antarex). She also works within the team of viaRODOS system (http://viarodos.cz/) for monitoring of the Czechia highway network and worked in the Center for the Development of Transportation Systems RODOS.She has published more than 80 papers in international journals and conferences. She is a member of IEEE since 2009 and acts as an observer in Research and innovation advisory group of EuroHPC JU since 2019.

Dr. Jan Martinovič is currently the Head of the Advanced Data Analysis and Simulations Lab at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center. He has extensive experience leading substantial R&D activities. His research activities are focused on information retrieval, data processing and analysis, experimental orchestration platforms for HPC/Cloud/BigData, and traffic management. His activities also cover the development of HPC-as-a-Service solutions, which enables remote use of HPC infrastructure. He is the coordinator of the ICT-11 projectLEXIS (Large-scale EXecution for Industry & Society, https://lexis-project.eu). He has previous experience with the coordination of different contracted research activities with international and national companies. Currently, he is participating as innovation manager in the ICT-51 project EVEREST (dEsign enVironmEnt foR Extreme-Scale big data analytics on heterogeneous platforms, https://everest-h2020.eu), as a work package leader in the EuroHPC project LIGATE (LIgand Generator and portable drug discovery platform AT Exascale, https://www.ligateproject.eu), and as co-design manager in the EuroHPC project ACROSS (HPC Big Data Artificial Intelligence Cross Stack Platform towards Exascale, https://www.acrossproject.eu). He is also a leading researcher at IT4I for the EuroHPC project IO-SEA (IO Software for Exascale Architecture, https://iosea-project.eu). Previously, he was a leading researcher at IT4I of the two H2020-FETHPC-2014 projects ANTAREX (AutoTuning and Adaptivity appRoach for Energy efficient eXascale HPC systems, http://specs.fe.up.pt/antarex) and ExCAPE (Exascale Compound Activity Prediction). He is also responsible for the research and development team of the FLOREON+ system (http://floreon.eu) -system for disaster management support and viaRODOS system (http://viarodos.cz/) for monitoring of the Czechia highway network. He has published more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences and is HiPEAC member since January 2020.

Dr. Stanislav Böhm is a senior research at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center. He finished Ph.D. in computer science in 2014. Currently, he is leader of a group focused on distributed systems. He participated in H2020 projects ExCAPE (Exascale Compound Activity Prediction) and ExaQute. He is active developer and and is co-author of several HPC and verification related projects: HyperQueue (HPC meta scheduler), HyperLoom (computational framework), Aislinn (verification of MPI programs), Orco (computational framework), Rain (computational framework), Haydi (combinatorial generator), Kaira (development environment for MPI programs).

Dr. Martin Šurkovský is a researcher at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre. He has received a doctoral degree in computer science in 2020 at VSB -Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Martin is an active developer. His research interests include analysis of communication in distributed systems, traffic analysis,analysis of tunnels and channels in protein structures. In H2020 EVEREST project, he is working on a traffic use case, particularly on a distributed traffic simulator.
