Alfred O. Hero
III received the B.S. (summa cum laude)
from Boston University (1980) and
the Ph.D from Princeton
University (1984), both in Electrical Engineering. Since 1984 he
has been with the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor,
where he is the R. Jamison and Betty Williams Professor of
Engineering. His primary appointment is in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science and he also has appointments, by courtesy, in the
Department of Biomedical
Engineering and the Department of Statistics. In 2008 he was
awarded the Digiteo Chaire d'Excellence, sponsored by Digiteo Research
Park in Paris, located at the Ecole Superieure d'Electricite,
Gif-sur-Yvette, France. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
and several of his research articles have received best paper awards.
Alfred Hero was awarded the University of Michigan Distinguished Faculty
Achievement Award (2011). He received the IEEE Signal Processing
Society Meritorious Service Award (1998) and the IEEE Third Millenium
Medal (2000). Alfred Hero was President of the IEEE Signal Processing
Society (2006-2008) and was on the Board of Directors of the IEEE
(2009-2011) where he served as Director of Division IX (Signals and
Applications).
Alfred Hero's recent research interests are in statistical signal processing,
machine learning and the analysis of high dimensional spatio-temporal data.
Of particular interest are applications to networks, including social networks,
multi-modal sensing and tracking, database indexing and retrieval,
imaging, and genomic signal processing.

Short biosketch:
Philippe Ciuciu received the engineering degree from ESIEA Paris, France,and DEA degree in automatic control and signal processing from the Université Paris-Sud (XI), Orsay, France, both in 1996. In 2000, he then received the PhD and degree from Université Paris-Sud in 2000 for a work done at Groupe Problèmes Inverses (L2S, UMR 8506) in radar Doppler imaging. He then became a post-doctoral fellow (2000-2001) in the fMRI signal processing group headed by JB Poline at Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (CEA, Life Science Division, Orsay, France) before being appointed on a permanent research scientist position by the same institute in November 2001. Since 2007, Dr Ciuciu has been with the brand new NeuroSpin centre dedicated to ultra-high field MRI and applications in cognitive and clinical neurosciences. In 2008, he received the "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" degree from the Université Paris-Sud, Orsay France. In the same year, he has been elegated to the Principal Investigator position for driving the neurodynamics resarch program in collaboration with Andreas Kleinschmidt (DR1 INSERM, Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit U992). Dr Ciuciu published 22 refereed journal papers, 2 book chapters, more than 50 conference papers and 1 MRI-related pending patent. In 2008, he has been invited as a guest editor to the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing for a special issue on Brain Mapping. Dr Ciuciu has also organized several workshops and special sessions in international conferences (IEEE ICASSP'06, MICCAI'09, ISBI'11). In 2003, he was the recipient of the young researcher best paper award at the IPMI conference (with G. Marrelec). In 2009, he received the best paper award at the IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing workshop and successfully applied to the Young researcher ANR call with his SCHUBERT project on SCaling analysis of the HUman Brain Evoked and Rest acTivity.
Dr Ciuciu has served as regular reviewer for twelve international top-ranked journals including six IEEE Transactions, MedIA, Neuroimage, Human Brain Mapping, Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, NMR Biomed, Pattern Recognition and for funding agencies (ANR "Programme Blanc", BBSRC (British), Technology Foundation STW (Dutch)).He will visit University of Toulouse in June and July 2014, 2015, 2016.
Since 2007, he has elaborated the PyHRF software, which has received a very good reception at the Human Brain Mapping (HBM'10) and European Scientific Python (EuroScipy'11) conferences. Since 2008, Dr Ciuciu has been in charge of the scientific supervision of fMRI-based clinical trials for neurodegenerative deseases in several agreements linking CEA to pharmaceutical companies (Servier, Sanofi).
