Kjiersten Fagnan

Kjiersten Fagnan joined the JGI in 2012 after completing a petascale postdoctoral fellowship at NERSC and CRD. In 2014 Fagnan became the JGI-NERSC Engagement Lead with a focus on adapting JGI workloads to run on supercomputing hardware. She is also working to understand the data-intensive nature of JGI workloads. Fagnan earned her PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington in 2010 and her BA from UC Berkeley in 2002.

Luc Moreau

Luc Moreau is a Professor of Computer Science, Head of the Web and Internet Science group (WAIS), and Deputy Head (Research and Enterprise) of ECS-Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton.

Luc was co-chair of the W3C Provenance Working Group, which resulted in four W3C Recommendations and nine W3C Notes, specifying PROV, a conceptual data model for provenance the Web, and its serializations in various Web languages.

Alexander C Nwala

Dr. Alexander C. Nwala is an assistant professor of Data Science at William and Mary (W&M). Before joining W&M, he was a postdoc at the Observatory on Social Media, Indiana University, Bloomington, with a research focus on dis/misinformation diffusion, detection, and countering of online manipulation. He received his PhD in Computer Science at Old Dominion University and has contributed multiple important tools and datasets to the data/web science, social media, (local) news, and web archiving communities.

Louise A Dennis

Louise Dennis is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester.

Her background is in artificial intelligence and more specifically in agent and autonomous systems and automated reasoning. She has worked on the development of several automated reasoning and theorem proving tools, most notably the Agent JPF model checker for BDI agent languages; the lambda-clam proof planning system (also archived at the Theorem Prover Museum); and the PROSPER Toolkit for integrating an interactive theorem prover (HOL) with automated reasoning tools (such as SAT solvers) and Case/CAD tools. More recently she has investigated rational agent programming languages and architectures for autonomous systems, with a particular emphasis on verifiable systems and ethical reasoning.
