Sofia Charlotta OlhedeSofia Olhede is a professor of Statistics at EPFL in Switzerland. She joined UCL prior to this in 2007, before which she was a senior lecturer of statistics (associate professor) at Imperial College London (2006-2007), a lecturer of statistics (assistant professor) (2002-2006), where she also completed her PhD in 2003 and MSci in 2000. She has held three research fellowships while at UCL: UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Springboard fellowship as well as a five-year Leadership fellowship, and now holds a European Research Council Consolidator fellowship. Sofia has contributed to the study of stochastic processes; time series, random fields and networks. Sofia was part of the multi-institutional team that set up the UK national data science institute, the Alan Turing Institute. She organised and served as chair of the science committee that developed the initial 500 000 pounds scientific programme of the institute; peer-reviewing over 100 workshop proposals and hosting over 30. She also chaired the first recruitment wave of the institute hiring 13 data scientists as a multi-university recruitment drive. Sofia was a member of the Royal Society and British Academy Data Governance Working Group, and the Royal Society working group on machine learning. Most recently she was one of 3 commissioners on a law society commission on the usage of algorithms in the justice system.

Gavin Jay SealAfter completing my studies at the University of Geneva, and obtaining a PhD from the Free University of Brussels, I went on to complete postdocs at York University in Toronto and McGill University in Montreal. Following a on-year position as Temporary Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University in the United States, I integrated Kathryn Hess research group at the EPFL in 2009 thanks to a Marie-Curie International Reintegration Grant. I taught the Geometry and Mathematics courses to the architects from 2012 to 2014, and since 2012 I have been teaching mathematics for the talented youth at the Euler course.
