Andrew R Gray
I am a biostatistician in the Biostatistics Centre at the University of Otago, a role I have held since 2004. Most of my work involves collaborating on a wide range of research projects in the health sciences, particularly in paediatric obesity, sleep, and physical activity; respiratory epidemiology, mostly asthma and COPD; dentistry; and health systems. I also work on statistical methods research, mostly topics inspired by these collaborations.
Prior to my current position I was a software metrics and machine learning researcher in the Department of Information Science at the same institution.
Wendy Hall
Wendy Hall, DBE, FRS, FREng, is Professor of Computer Science in Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, and is a Director of the Web Science Institute. She was Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) from 2002 to 2007, and was Dean of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering from 2010 to 2014.
One of the first computer scientists to undertake serious research in multimedia and hypermedia, she has been at its forefront ever since. The influence of her work has been significant in many areas including digital libraries, the development of the Semantic Web, and the emerging research discipline of Web Science.
She is Managing Director of the Web Science Trust.
She became a Dame Commander of the British Empire in the 2009 UK New Year's Honours list, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 2009.
She was elected President of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in July 2008, and was the first person from outside North America to hold this position.
Until July 2008, she was Senior Vice President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, was a member of the UK Prime Minister's Council for Science and Technology, and was a founder member of the Scientific Council of the European Research Council. She was President of the British Computer Society from 2003 to 2004 and an EPSRC Senior Research Fellow from 1996 to 2002.
James Hendler
Director of the Institute for Data Exploration and Applications and the Tetherless World Professor of Computer, Web and Cognitive Sciences at RPI. He is a Fellow of the AAAI, the BCS, the IEEE and the AAAS. He is the former Chief Scientist of the Information Systems Office at the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) , and was the first computer scientist to serve on the Board of Reviewing editors for Science.
Henning Hermjakob
As co-founder of the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI), Henning Hermjakob contributed to the development of a broad range of community data representation standards for proteomics and interactomics. Based on the trust and collaborative spirit built up in the development of data representation standards, he coordinated the next step, the intensive collaboration of proteomics and interactomics data resources globally in the IMEx [3] and ProteomeXchange [4] consortia, providing infrastructure support for the move towards an open data culture in proteomics. Building on his experience in interactomics, he is now co-PI of the Reactome Pathways database [1] and the BioModels resource of systems biology models [2]. Current research interests comprise distributed data resources (http://omicsdi.org) and complex data visualisation.

Harry Hochheiser
My research has covered a range of topics, including human-computer interaction, information visualization, bioinformatics, universal usability, security, privacy, and public policy implications of computing systems. I am currently working on a variety of NIH-funded projects, including areas such as bioinformatics research portals, visualization for review of chart records, and tools for aiding the discovery of animal models of human diseases.

Jacob J Hughey
I’m an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University. My group's research is centered around developing and applying computational methods to large, noisy datasets in order to quantify, model, and understand dynamic biological systems. We are particularly interested in the mammalian circadian system.
Henkjan J. Huisman
Dr. H.J. Huisman received his Ph.D. in quantitative medical ultrasound in 1998 at the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. He continued his research in quantitative MR and ultrasound in breast and prostate resulting in several publications, clinical applications and a patent on a Pharmacokinetic DCEMR processing. He started a research group in 2004 on Computer Aided Diagnosis and Intervention of prostate cancer focussing on computerized support systems for interpretation of multiparametric MR and MRL as well as image guided biopsy and intervention. Since June 2017 he is an Associate Professor in Pelvic Imaging Biomarkers. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters and has co-organized several workshops/challenges on prostate MR image analysis.
Eyke Hüllermeier
Eyke Hüllermeier is a full professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Paderborn, Germany, where he heads the Intelligent Systems group. He studied mathematics and business computing, received his PhD in computer science from the University of Paderborn in 1997, and a Habilitation degree in 2002. Prior to returning to Paderborn in 2014, he held professorships at the Universities of Dortmund, Magdeburg and Marburg.
Rodolfo Jaffé
I`m interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, genomics and spatial statistics, to understand how the alteration of natural habitats influences biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services.
