TEAM

The DIVA team is an alliance of physicists, engineers, surgeons and radiologists. We have a deep scientific expertise in the domain of image processing and we work conjunctly with the top-ranked breast cancer service in France at the Institut Curie.

 

Jean-Baptiste Masson, PhD

Jean-Baptiste is a theoretical physicist and leads the Decision and Bayesian Computation group at the Institut Pasteur. He develops multidisciplinary approaches combining physics, Bayesian inference and machine learning for the analysis and modeling of complex systems.

Mohamed El Beheiry, PhD

Having earned his PhD in physics from the Université Paris VI, Mohamed is a biomedical engineer by training who has developed multiple complete software solutions that address large communities of scientists.

Bassam Hajj, PhD

Bassam is a CNRS researcher at the Institut Curie and co-leads the Light-based Observation and Control of Cellular Organization team. He earned his PhD in physics from ENS Cachan and develops optical tools for three-dimensional super-resolution biological imaging.

Stéphane Fournier

Currently CIO of Institut Pasteur, Stéphane develops the IT following the latestet technologies to deliver the best of breeds, in particular he focuses on Microsorvices, High performance computing. He’s also promoting data sharing and opendata in science.

Maxime Dahan

(1972–2018)

The DIVA project started as an ambitious idea from Maxime Dahan, Jean-Baptiste Masson and, their former PhD student, Mohamed El Beheiry.

Maxime, a pioneer in single-molecule biophysics, passed away unexpectedly at age 46 on 29 July 2018 in his home near Paris. Maxime was the director of the Curie Institute’s physical chemistry unit and a research director at CNRS.
