Marieke Huisman is a professor in Software Reliability, leading the Formal Methods and Tools group at the Univ. of Twente, Netherlands. She obtained her PhD in 2001 from the Univ. of Nijmegen, in the area of semantics and verification of sequential Java programs. She worked 8 years at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France on verification of concurrent programs. In 2008 she joined the UT. She leads the development of the VerCors program verifier for concurrent software. For this work, she has received the support of several personal grants, such as an ERC Starting Grant, and a Vici grant from the Dutch Science Organisation. She has been chairing Versen, the Dutch association of software researchers, and works hard to improve the overall visibility of software research.
Prof. Kaiser's research interests lie at the boundary of software engineering and software systems, focusing on software reliability, privacy and security, and social software engineering. She served on the editorial board of IEEE Internet Computing for many years, was a founding associate editor of ACM TOSEM, and chaired an ACM FSE Symposium. She has directed her department's doctoral program since 1997. Prof. Kaiser received her PhD from CMU and her ScB from MIT.
Focusing on software engineering, software testing, and data science, Gregory M. Kapfhammer is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Allegheny College.
Antónia Lopes is Associate Professor at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, since March 2006. She received a Ph.D. in Informatics at the University of Lisbon in 1999 and holds a BSc and MSc in Applied Mathematics from Technical University of Lisbon. Her research interests are mainly in the area of formal methods for software engineering. These include mathematically based techniques for the specification, modelling and analysis of various types of software intensive systems.
I am a Computer Research Scientist in the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology division at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. My work focuses on computational methods for representing and interpreting complex biological data, in particular through the development and application of knowledge representation structures such as ontologies.
