Sarah obtained her Ph.D. degree in cell biology and microbiology in University Aix-Marseille in France in 1998 and a Junior Canadian research Chair in Integrative Genomics and Cell signaling at UQAM in 2006 (The IGCS Lab). As the co-founder and CEO 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.

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 to generate models in real-time. This discovery is as a master algorithm to control machines at a knowledge level (A. Newell). Lab: Mimetics Labs

Abdoulaye is fascinated by the usability and efficiency of bioinformatics services to solve biological questions and transform biologist main needs into accessible services. As director of the bioinfo lab at UQAM, he leads the development of more than 10 applications in bioinformatics including workflows, machine learning methods, ontologies and knowledge management of biological data. Abdoulaye has a Ph.D. in computer science (option bioinformatics) from the McGill University. He is a former research associate at the BroadInstitute of MIT and Harvard and postdoctoral scholar at the Computer Science and artificial intelligence Laboratory of MIT.

Tony started teaching himself programming in high school and taking things to a higher level then seemed natural. 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 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, he's been playing the piano for almost 10 years, and he loves to go rock climbing and play acroyoga 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 TGOWLeR: an ontology based system to extract and mine abstract workflows from texts.
