About the Author
Cyrille Rossant is a researcher in neuroinformatics, and is a graduate of Ecole
Normale Superieure, Paris, where he studied mathematics and computer science.
He has worked at Princeton University, University College London, and College
de France. As part of his data science and software engineering projects, he gained
experience in machine learning, high-performance computing, parallel computing,
and big data visualization.
He is one of the main developers of VisPy, a high-performance visualization package
in Python. He is the author of the IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization
Cookbook, Packt Publishing, an advanced-level guide to data science and numerical
computing with Python, and the sequel of this book.
I am grateful to Nick Fiorentini for his help during the revision of
the book. I would also like to thank my family and notably my wife
Claire for their support.
