Profile
Denis joined the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC) of the Cyprus Institute in June 2008, he is also a Scientific Researcher at the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France, since 2003. He received his MSc in Computer Sciences, specialisation Digital Imaging, at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie. He obtained his BSc in Computer Science at the University of Udine, in Italy and was an ERASMUS student at the University of Valencia, in Spain.
Denis has participated in a number of EU and French national funded projects on IT applications to museum collections. He has developed skills in 2D and 3D data acquisition, image analysis and processing and data management, including ontologies and semantic web, on which he has published a number of papers and conference lectures. He has contributed to the publication of two books about the findings of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" painting. He is member of Europeana v1.0 project as external expert for working group 3.2, co-chair for the International Workshop on Art, Science and Technology Virtual tools for Cultural Heritage (AST) at the GRAPP 2008 conference with Prof. Patrick Callet, Scientific chair at VAST 2009, in Malta, local organizer at VAST 2010, in Paris and volunteer referee for Journal of Optics A.
