Julien Jomier is an R&D Engineer at Kitware, Inc.'s branch office in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Julien received both B.S. and M.S in Electrical Engineering and Information Processing in 2002 from the ESCPE-Lyon (France) and a M.S. in Computer Science from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in 2003. He worked on a variety of projects in the areas of parallel and distributed computing, mobile computing, image processing and visualization.

As a developer of the Insight Toolkit (www.itk.org), Mr. Jomier was involved in applications for stereo reconstruction, model-to-image registration and vessel analysis. He is also the main contributor of the Spatial Objects and the Spatial Object Viewer toolkit. His main areas of research include Image-Guided surgery and multimodality data fusion as well as Computer-Aided diagnosis. Julien is currently working on MIDAS (http://www.kitware.com/products/midas.html), a system for collecting, processing, and distributing massive collections of data. He is also the main architect of CDash, an open-source, distributed, software quality system companion of CMake and CTest.  Julien is also leading the development of the Insight-Journal (www.insight-journal.org), an electronic journal for Open-Science. He is also a main developer for the Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (www.igstk.org) and continues to support the Insight toolkit.  Prior to joining Kitware, Mr. Jomier was a Faculty Research Lecturer of Radiology at the University of North Carolina and a member of the Computer-Aided Diagnosis and Display Laboratory (http://caddlab.rad.unc.edu).
