Dr. Elli Angelopoulou received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Johns Hopkins University in 1997. She did her postdoc at the GRASP (General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception) Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. She has over 40 publications, a patent and has received numerous grants, including an NSF CAREER award. Her research is focused on multispectral imaging, skin reflectance, reflectance analysis in support of shape recovery, image forensics, image retrieval and reflectance analysis in medical imaging (e.g. capsule endoscopy).

Some more specific topics she has worked on include the design of multispectral sensors which are resistant to lighting changes, robust skin detection even in the presence of skin-mimicking materials, and shape reconstruction with minimal prior knowledge. Angelopoulou has served on the program committees of ICCV, CVPR and ECCV and is an associate editor of Machine Vision and Applications (MVA) and the Journal of Intelligent Service Robotics (JISR). She is a member of the Optical Society of America and the IEEE Computer Society and its Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.

Elena Krutkova is a postdoctoral researcher in the Advanced Electromagnetism Group of Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies (SAOT) at the University Erlangen-Nürnberg. She received her Ph.D. degree in Physics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, in 2007. In 2007-2009 she was a postdoctoral researcher in the Microelectronic Technology Group at the Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Elena’s research interests are laying in the field of investigation and optical application of Si-based nano- and microstructures and metamaterial structures. She is being a specialist in Raman scattering spectroscopy, visible and FTIR spectroscopy.
