Silvia Biasotti is a researcher at CNR-IMATI, Genova, Italy. She received a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Applications (2004) and a Ph.D. in ICT (2008), both from the University of Genova, Italy. Her research interests include the study of topological-geometrical descriptions of 2D and 3D models and shape similarity based on structural descriptions. She is involved in the creation of benchmarks for 3D object retrieval and geospatial data analysis: she has been in charge of several tracks of the SHape REtrieval Contest (SHREC) and is responsible of the IQmulus Processing contest 2013. She authored more than 80 scientific peer-reviewed contributions and delivered specialistic courses at several international venues, among them EG2014 and SIGGRAPH2012.

Andrea Giachetti is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Verona. He received the Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Genova, Italy, in 1997. He has also worked with CRS4 (Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development, Sardinia), where he has been a Head of the Medical Image Processing group, and a Key staff of various EU funded projects and with the University of Cagliari. His research activity is mainly focused on computer vision, computer graphics and shape analysis with applications to medical and cultural heritage domains. He is the author of more than 100 publications in journals and conference proceedings.

Marco Tarini (Ph.D., Pisa, 2003) works as an Associate Professor at the University of Insubria, Varese, Italy and an Associate Researcher with CNR-ISTI, Pisa, Italy. His research interests are in Computer Graphics and its applications. He is active in geometric modelling, real-time rendering, and large dataset visualization. He authored several works in top journals and conferences, including many award winning papers. He has been a Marie Curie fellow and an IPC member in several top conferences, and in 2006 he was granted the Young Researcher Award by Eurographics.
