Back to [[conference:committee:2015-speakers]]\\ \\ **Bio**: \\ Axel's brain was formatted with high energy physics, in Germany, in The Netherlands and in the US. At CERN, he is now developing ROOT , one of the tools used by virtually all high energy physicists around the world on a daily basis to store, statistically analyze and visualize petabytes of physics data. If he doesn't design or code software, he consults others with how to get better software ("not-worst practices"). Since 2011 he is a regular voting participant at the C++ Standards Committee, trying to represent the novices' and number crunchers' voice.\\ \\ Homepage: \\ Location: \\ \\ **Email**: Axel.Naumann@cern.ch\\ \\ [[2015:Large Scale Scientific C++]]
