Jan Schier received his M.Sc. degree in Technical cybernetics from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague in 1989 and his Ph.D. degree from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague in 1995. During his Ph.D. studies, he has joined the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. Recently, he has been with the Department of Image Processing.
Between 1995-1997 he held several short visiting appointments with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EWI), TU Delft, the Netherlands. In 1998-2002 he held visiting position with the SISTA/ESAT group, KU Leuven, Belgium. In both cases, he has been contributing in the field of applied signal processing (signal processing and object detection for the FMCW collision-avoidance radar, fixed-point implementation of ADSL equalization algorithms).
In 2015 and 2014, he has been program co-chair of the BIOIMAGING conference, in 2012 of the BIOINFORMATICS conference, all held with the frame of the BIOSTEC conference, organized by INSTICC, Portugal. In 2018, he has chaired the Doctoral consortium of the BIOSTEC conference.
Reviewer for the Journal of Real-Time Image Processing (Springer) (2007-now)
Supervised bachelor project
Anna Mikeštíková, MFF UK (2022-2023) Analysis of mitotic spindle microscopy images captured with light-sheet
microscope
In the recent years, he has been supervising several secondary-school students in the frame of the Open science program of the Academy of Sciences. In 2023, in the frame of "Digital image processing using neural networks" internship, he supervises Luka Králík and Jan Martin Macháček. The internship has been focused on processing of scans of historical maps as well as on bioimaging data, using the convolutional neural networks.
You could also meet him at the UTIA stand at the Science Fair popularization event.
His conference paper "Automated counting of yeast colonies using the Fast Radial Transform algorithm", jointly authored with Bohumil Kovář, has been awarded the Best paper award at the BIOINFORMATICS 2011 conference, organized by INSTICC.
