James T. O'Connor, P.E.

James T. O’Connor, P.E., PhD, is the C.T. Wells Professor of Project Management at the Univ. of Texas (UT) at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering and has been active within the Construction Industry Institute (CII) since its founding. He earned a PhD in civil engineering from UT and a BS from Oklahoma State Univ. He is the author of 50 monographs, over 210 refereed journal and conference articles, and more than 130 technical reports on capital project management. He has had more than 60 consulting engagements with a wide variety of clients in both private and public sectors. At UT he is...Read more

Stephan Haas

Stephan Haas is engaged in theoretical research on the physics of strongly correlated electrons in solids. His recent interests include microscopic modeling and phenomenology of the high-temperature superconductors, in particular the analysis of dynamical spectra and phase diagrams. He is also using a range of numerical approaches to study low-dimensional antiferromagnets, spin ladders, spin-Peierls systems, and other quantum magnets. Furthermore, his research extends to disordered quantum systems, including random-exchange antiferromagnets, dirty superconductors, and systems with impurity...Read more

Peter Lodahl

Peter Lodahl (PL) is professor in quantum physics and technology at the Niels Bohr Institute. He is the Director of the Danish National Research Foundation Center of Excellence Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q) and the Novo Nordisk Foundation center for Solid State Quantum Simulators. PL received a PhD in quantum physics in 2000 from University of Copenhagen and subsequently held postdoc positions at Caltech and University of Twente. He was the first to demonstrate that light emission can be fully controlled by the use of intricate photonic nanostructures. This fundamental principle...Read more

Krist V. Gernaey

MSc (1993) and PhD (1997) from Ghent University (Belgium). First associate professor at DTU Chemical Engineering (2005-2012), then Professor in Industrial Fermentation Technology ("The Novozymes professor") since 2013. Head of the Process and Systems Engineering Center (PROSYS) since 2014. CEO of Bioscavenge ApS, a startup with focus on resource recovery on industrial process streams, since 2017. Chairman of the board of Helix Lab – Kalundborg since 2020. 

The focus of my research work is the modeling, development and optimisation of industrial fermentation, pharmaceutical...Read more

Anastasia Marchenkova

Anastasia Marchenkova has been a Quantum Researcher at the Georgia Tech quantum optics and quantum telecommunications lab, a research member of the University of Maryland Joint Quantum Institute, early team member and Quantum Engineer at Rigetti Quantum Computing, and is currently working on superconducting qubit quantum processors at Bleximo. Marchenkova has a YouTube channel demystifying quantum computing with the goal to get more scientists and engineers into quantum computing research. She won second place in IBM’s Europe Qiskit Camp (a quantum hackathon competition) for work in...Read more

Francesco Tacchino

Francesco is a member of the Quantum Computational Sciences group at IBM Research in Zurich, where he works on the development and implementation of quantum algorithms for physics, chemistry, and machine learning applications. Francesco received a PhD in Physics and a MSc in Theoretical Physics from the University of Pavia, Italy.Read more

Mark Jones

Mark Nicholas Jones has studied chemical engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Technical University of Denmark (DTU), followed by a PhD and postdoc position at DTU. In 2019 he founded with Lukasz Rusczcynski the start-up Molecular Quantum Solutions (MQS) to integrate quantum chemistry calculations for property prediction with higher-layer applications such as computer aided molecular design or unit operation modelling. Marks interests are quantum chemistry, machine-learning, process systems engineering, software development, experimental electronic music and...Read more

Kurt V. Mikkelsen

Kurt V. Mikkelsen is a professor of theoretical chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. He has published three books and more than 300 papers in almost all areas of theoretical chemistry. He has for more than twenty years been teaching chemistry, physics and nanoscience students at the University of Copenhagen.Read more

Grant Rotskoff

Grant Rotskoff is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Stanford. He studies the nonequilibrium dynamics of living matter with a particular focus on self-organization from the molecular to the cellular scale. His work involves developing theoretical and computational tools that can probe and predict the properties of physical systems driven away from equilibrium. Recently, he has focused on characterizing and designing physically accurate machine learning techniques for biophysical modeling. Prior to his current position, Grant was a James S. McDonnell Fellow working at the Courant...Read more

Nicole Wheeler

Dr Wheeler has a background in biochemistry and microbial genomics, complemented by experience in developing machine learning methods for predicting the effects of genetic variation on the virulence of pathogens. Her work focuses on the development of screening tools for identifying DNA from emerging biological threats, establishing genomic pathogen surveillance in resource-limited settings, One Health surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, and the ethical development of artificial intelligence (AI) for health applications. She has provided expertise on machine learning for genomic...Read more
