On Monday, March 23, our faculty will welcome Barthélemy Camia-Temperton, a French cybersecurity specialist and university instructor affiliated with the cybersecurity engineering program at ESIGELEC (Rouen). In his professional work, he focuses primarily on network security, IoT security, ethical hacking, information security, and cryptography. His industry experience allows him to bridge the gap between academic instruction and practically oriented security topics, including threat intelligence, incident analysis, and digital forensics.

Camia-Temperton’s contribution will enhance the CSOa: CCNA Cybersecurity Operations course (supervised by Dr. Vladimír Veselý), which focuses on practical training in security operations: monitoring, detection, analysis, and resolution of cyber incidents within organizational environments and security teams. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of the skills needed to maintain and ensure the operational readiness of secure network systems. Camia-Temperton’s own teaching will follow this approach, focusing on understanding attackers and their tools, common threats and attacks, and techniques for monitoring, analyzing, and protecting networks and systems.

You are cordially invited to Bartélemy Camii-Tempertona’s lecture.

Traditional cameras “see” the same way all the time. They consume a lot of energy and generate a massive bitstream. Couldn’t we take inspiration from, say… a cat? It sleeps for half the day, but as soon as a mouse moves across the field, it pounces on it with almost zero latency.

Come listen to a lecture by Italian researcher Giulia D’Angelo, currently a research assistant at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) at the Czech Technical University, where she develops neuromorphic algorithms for computer vision. Okay, let’s let the cat sleep and approach the topic from a more technical angle. The lecture focuses on so-called event-driven sensors, which bring biological efficiency to the world of robotics thanks to microsecond latency and minimal power consumption. Giulia D’Angelo will introduce you to how biologically inspired algorithms link perception with action and why this neuromorphic approach is the key to the future of autonomous systems—perception and movement are inseparable, and the algorithms themselves learn from interacting with the physical world. For any system, whether biological or robotic, efficient processing of visual inputs is essential for understanding and interacting with the environment. The main challenge lies in the continuous recalibration of perception through sensorimotor contingencies, where what the system perceives is shaped by the way it moves. To address these challenges, Dr. D’Angelo is developing brain-inspired algorithms that utilize the computational principles of biological neurons and spiking neural networks optimized for neuromorphic hardware.

The lecture is part of the VGS-IT (Invited Talks on Vision, Graphics, and Speech) series. This series focuses on machine learning, speech processing, computer vision, and large language models.

The lecture will be streamed on YouTube, but as always, it’s better to be there in person!

Dr. Giulia D’Angelo works at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU; she completed her PhD at the University of Manchester. In her research, she combines neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and robotics—drawing inspiration from the human brain to create technologies that strive to perceive (see) the world much like we do. She leads the ENDEAVOR project, where neuromorphic computing and event-driven cameras are transforming into real robotic visions of the future. She is also a recent recipient of the international Le Tecnovisionarie 2025 award.

Few mobile apps are as widely used in the Czech Republic. Záchranka has already been downloaded more than 3.5 million times. Over 100 people use it every day, and it has facilitated more than 220,000 contacts to date. The project, which began as a bachelor’s thesis by Brno University of Technology student Filip Maleňák, is now the official app of the Emergency Medical Service, Mountain Rescue Service, and Water Rescue Service. And it has long since expanded beyond the borders of the Czech Republic.

Work on the app continues. Záchranka has its own internal software team, albeit a small one consisting of seven members. The current development of Záchranka is closely linked to the environment of the Faculty of Information Technology at BUT. Former faculty student Martin Dybal, now an employee of Záchranka, has been working as an external lecturer at the faculty since 2014 (specifically, he contributes to the ICS and IW5 courses). Dybal is responsible for assigning projects that allow students to participate in Záchranka’s software development. One of the three projects already defended is a bachelor’s thesis authored by Radek Jestřabík, the results of which have recently been implemented into Záchranka and have brought significant progress in video call functionality.

The result is a system in the form of a multimedia server through which video is transmitted from the user to the Záchranka portal. It is precisely the live playback of the video call recording during the call with the caller that is the key benefit of Jestřabík’s solution. Other changes added to the portal thanks to his work include the ability to capture important moments via a screenshot, which can be forwarded to a newly assigned dispatcher, who then doesn’t have to search through the recording. The solutions are now implemented in the app in all countries where Záchranka operates. “It was challenging; there were a lot of things we had to improve and fine-tune,” comments Jestřabík.
