Since 2001, Mickaël worked on various industrial projects concerning autonomous systems and unsupervised learning like a mission management System for uninhabited air vehicles for the european defence and an autonomous satellite constellation simulator for the european space agency concerning the Galileo project. During his Ph.D. Thesis from 2003 to 2007 at LIP6 from P6 & CNRS, Mickaël developed a system based on an ontology of making self-assessment decisions, that allows one to generate models in real-time. Thanks to this system, Mickaël is able to control a group of robots like Aibo by Sony or generate HTML pages without modifying the source code of the system. This discovery is as a master algorithm to control machines at a knowledge level (A. Newell).

Sarah is an associate professor and director of the undergraduate studies of biochemistry programs at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM). She is also the cofounder and former director of Pharmaqam, an academic research centre in drug discovery member of the director comity "Targets" of the "Réseau Québecois de recherche sur le médicament" (RQRM). She received her Ph.D. degree in cell biology and microbiology in 1998 from the University Aix-Marseille in France. She was a post-doctoral fellow at McGill University in cell signaling, genomics and proteomics. She obtained in 2006 a Junior Canadian research Chair in cell signaling and integrative genomics at UQAM. The research program she carries out in her laboratory, develops novel integrative genomic strategies to better understand functional interactions between genes and the plasticity of signaling programs controlling epithelial morphogenesis in nematodes and humans. As the co-founder and CSO of MIMs Inc., she translates this expertise to provide MIMs with state-of-the-art integrative genomics abilities and attention to specific needs of biologist users.

Tony always been interested in science and mathematics, he started teaching hisself programming in high school and quickly realized it could be used to build many interesting things. Taking things to a higher level then seemed natural, and he enrolled at Epitech Paris, where he gratuated in 2013 with a Master's Degree in Information Technology, after five years of studying.
By the end of the second year, he had had the chance to work part-time as an R&D developer for two companies, and in the third year, he became a teaching assistant in C/C++ and computational mathematics. He moved to Montreal in 2013 to work as an R&D developer in artificial intelligence. Alongside working on stimulating personal projects, music and sports also have a important part in his life. He playing the piano for almost 10 years, and he loves to go rock climbing whenever he can!

Etienne is an experienced software developer and bioinformatics researcher. Prior to working at MIMs, he developed the Armadillo workflow platform and elaborated numerous clustering algorithms. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Université du Québec à Montréal and a master degree in Veterinary Sciences from Université de Montréal. His current interests are networks, workflow optimizations, and cycling.

After studying two years at Polytech' Paris UPMC, three years at EPITECH Paris with one year as an exchange student at Laval University in Quebec City, Soufien got graduated as Master of Information Technology. Former teacher assistant in several EPITECH laboratories, permanent employee of advanced programming languages laboratory and also former R&D developer, he used his curiosity to explore, learn and hand over the diversity and complexity that programming languages owns. Nowadays, he consider to be an C, C++, Python and Go expert. Rock-climber / singer in his spare time!

Ahmed is a PhD student in cognitive computer science at the University of Quebec at Montreal. He is interested in procedural knowledge acquisition: i.e. information extraction, ontologies and data mining. He developed TGROWLeR: an ontology based system to extract and mine abstract workflows from texts. He worked as a repository developer at CRIM (Centre de Recherche d’Informatique de Montréal) during his PhD and developed a Web digital repository for linked data.
