Wieslaw L. Nowinski WWW

DSc, PhD - scientist, innovator, entrepreneur, and visionary; creator of human brain atlases. His research includes brain atlases, stroke, deep brain stimulation, brain quantification, neuroinformatics, medical image processing, virtual reality, computer-assisted diagnosis and treatment, and future directions in computer-aided radiology and surgery. He has over 510 publications, filed 50 patent applications (30 already granted, 14 in US), and developed with his team 26 brain atlas products used worldwide in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology, brain mapping, and neuroeducation. These atlases have been commercially licensed to 16 companies. He has started 3 high-tech companies from his lab.

Grigori Panasenko (France) WWW

The central research direction is concearned with homogenization of partial derivatives equations and mathematical modeling of heterogeneous media. From mathematical point of view it is an asymptotic study of PDEs with rapidly oscillating coefficients or boundaries; from mechanical point of view this asymptotic analysis is applied to the mathematical modeling of composite materials, lattice structures, industrial installations, frames, heterogeneous plates and rods, porous media.

Richard Craster

Professor of Applied Mathematics , Head of Department of Mathematics Imperial College London

Richard Craster is Professor of Applied Mathematics at Imperial College. He has research interests across a broad spectrum of fluid mechanics and elasticity (fracture mechanics, diffraction theory, wave phenomena, applied complex analysis, Newtonian thin-layer theories, viscoplasticity, guided elastic waves, surfactant driven flows, instability theory, pattern formation) and is involved in their applications in engineering and physics. He also has interests in asymptotic theories for differential equations (WKBJ methods, Fuchsian equations) and in the development of techniques to solve free boundary problems and conformal mapping theory.
