12 December 2016: List of Speakers & Panelists
12h15-13h00 Welcome Address
Designation: Director of the LAPP Laboratory, OBELICS workpackge leader
Bio: Dr Giovanni Lamanna is the Research Director at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), leading the high energy gamma-ray astronomy research at the laboratory LAPP (Laboratoire d'Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique des Particules) in France. He has contributed to large international collaborations such as AMS, ANTARES, H.E.S.S. and CTA. He is currently involved in the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) international consortium, where he leads the Data-Management project and the French contribution to the design, development and construction of the first CTA Large Size Telescope. He has been cooperating during the last years with APPEC (the Astroparticle Physics European Consortium) on issues concerning optimal and efficient large-scale data analysis and management and has promoted the EU-T0 initiative. In 2013 he became computing and e-infrastructures policy manager at IN2P3 (the French national institute of nuclear and particle physics). He is one of the leading persons in the ASTERICS-H2020 project, coordinating the research activities on data challenges of new generation astronomical observatories in particular WP3-OBELICS
