Sally Jo Cunningham
Sally Jo Cunningham is a founding member of the New Zealand Digital Libraries Research Group, who are the developers of the Greenstone software. Her research primarily focuses on digital library users and their information behaviour, over text, image, video, and music documents; she is particularly interested in how information behaviour changes as people move to digital documents, and in how we can support the 'non-native' behaviour seen with physical collections, in the digital library.
Peter Denning

Author of ten books, most recent Great Principles of Computing (MIT Press 2015). Author of over four hundred scientific papers and articles.
Shanmuga Sundar Dhanabalan
Dr. Shanmuga Sundar Dhanabalan is an accomplished researcher with a proven track record in designing, developing, and translating micro- and nano-scale devices. CIA’s primary objective is to advance the field of medical and healthcare by creating next-generation products that enhance quality of life and well-being, making a significant contribution to society. He is currently leading a team developing ‘wearable and connected sensors’ at RMIT University, focusing on materials, flexible and stretchable devices, wearables, optics, and photonics. CIA graduated with a Ph.D. in flexible electronics in June 2017. He secured a competitive Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Chilean government from 2018 to 2021. In 2021, he joined as a Research Fellow at RMIT University in Melbourne. CIA studies have led to 38 publications in referred international journals, 1 provisional patent, 1 Indian patent, 10 book chapters, and 7 books in progress as editor. He has presented at 19 national and international conferences. Several outcomes have been highlighted by scientific websites (such as Photonics Media, USA). CIA's research work has led to securing grants from Australian government research schemes, such as the Cooperative Research Centres Projects, the ARC Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health, Victorian Medical Research Acceleration Fund, and the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre's Commercialisation Fund.

He moved to Australia in 2004 from the US NCGIA (National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis) at the University of Maine, USA.
His research is connected with spatial reasoning and computing with uncertain and imperfect geospatial information, with applications to defence, emergency response, transportation, and environmental monitoring. Matt is an author of the widely used university textbook "GIS: A Computing Perspective" now in its third edition.
Luciano Fadiga
M.D., Ph.D. He has a deep knowledge of and experience in electrophysiology in monkeys (single neurons recordings) and humans (transcranial magnetic stimulation, study of spinal excitability and brain imaging). His current research include the study of the relationships between action and language and the realization of brain-computer interfaces specifically designed for human use.
Simone Fontana
Prof. Simone Fontana is an assistant professor at Università degli Studi di Milano - Bicocca.
His main research activity is in the field of 3D robot perception, with special attention to point clouds registration, a problem for which he has developed a benchmark. More recently, Dr. Fontana's research has focused on the use of informatics techniques for neuropsicology and neuroscience.
He is a co-investigator of the DriveWin project, which aims to investigate the effects of different types of non-invasive neurostimulation on attention while driving. Attention was assessed on a driving simulator and two age groups were compared.
Prof. Fontana is also a lecturer at the School of Law and at the Advanced Specialization School in Neuropsychology.
Alessandro Frigeri
My research interest focuses on Planetary Science, Geoinformatics, and Geophysical data acquisition (both in the field and from remote sensing instruments), processing, and comparative analysis of datasets with different data models (e.g. topography, spectral and visible imagery and radar). I use and develop GIS tools for quantitative spatial analysis in my research activity.
I'm part of Scientific Teams of instruments onboard missions to Mars (ESA's Mars Express and NASA's MRO) and asteroids belt Vesta and Ceres (NASA's Dawn).
