bio : "Bertrand was primary working in Aluminum industry as process engineer,
developing software for data acquisition, data analysis, statistical
process control (SPC) and for X-Ray spectrometry. He has been involved in
ROOT development since 2001 by porting ROOT to Windows. Bertrand is a
member of the ROOT development team at CERN since August 2005. He's
currently working on GUI (Graphical User Interface), core (mainly Windows
support), and JavaScript Root (JSROOT)."

Aaron Jomy:
name : "Aaron Jomy"
bio : "Aaron is a software engineer with a background in deep learning and path planning
for autonomous vehicles. He received his Bachelor's in Computer Science in 2024,
with a focus on high-performance computing and GPU programming. His first
interaction with CERN was a research internship with Princeton University towards
his undergraduate thesis. He joined the ROOT team as a technical student, working
on a novel type system and interoperability layer for ROOT. Currently, as an R&D
software engineer, Aaron works on interactive C++ and language interoperability
technologies based on LLVM to provide on-demand, performant Python bindings for
ROOT. He also serves as an Organization Administrator for the CERN-HSF Google
Summer of Code program."

Lukas was the principal software engineer of BioDynaMo. This interdisciplinary
and open-source project brings together simulation experts and computer
scientists to develop an agent-based simulation platform that sets new standards
in terms of performance and scale. Since its inception in 2015, Lukas has been
driving the platform's major advancements, particularly focusing on building a
scalable and modular simulation engine. The Annual Symposium on Principles and
Practice of Parallel Programming recognized this work with the Best Artifact
Award. In the ROOT team, Lukas is responsible for an R&D project to accelerate
physics data analysis on the GPU."
