Dr. Catherine Higham works at the interface between mathematics, deep learning and experimental science. Her first degree was in mathematics and her PhD involved mathematical modelling and statistical inference applied to somatic genetic mutations arising in myotonic dystrophy and Huntington's disease. Subsequent areas of research include Bayesian inference in nonlinear ODEs and the circadian clock. Currently, she is developing and applying deep learning techniques to inverse problems arising in novel quantum imaging technologies such as the single pixel camera and lidar. She also has an interest in quantum machine learning and framing problems for quantum annealing.
Dr. Łukasz Szeleszczuk is a Professor at the Medical University of Warsaw. His main areas of interest are DFT calculations, especially for the solid state systems, and solid state NMR spectroscopy.
Dr. Su Yan received his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), Urbana, IL, USA, in 2016. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at Howard University, Washington, DC. He has authored or coauthored over 100 papers in refereed journals and conferences and one book chapter. His current research interests include nonlinear electromagnetic and multiphysics problems, electromagnetic scattering and radiation, numerical methods in computational electromagnetics, especially continuous and discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods, integral-equation-based methods, domain decomposition methods, fast algorithms, and preconditioning techniques. Dr. Yan is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Life Member of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES). He was a recipient of the ACES Early Career Award “for contributions to linear and nonlinear electromagnetic and multiphysics modeling and simulation methods" by ACES in 2020, the P. D. Coleman Outstanding Research Award and the Yuen T. Lo Outstanding Research Award by UIUC, in 2015 and 2014, respectively. He was also a recipient of the Edward E. Altschuler AP-S Magazine Prize Paper Award by IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society in 2020.
