Elizabeth has an MPhil in HPS from Cambridge and has worked for the Newton Project Canada. She has worked for the Darwin Correspondence Project for more than fifteen years, and assisted in the conversion of the Project's core files to TEI XML, and is now developing and implementing strategies to ensure the quality, robustness, interoperability, and long-term viability of our electronic data. She is a co-founder of Epsilon, a nineteenth century science letters platform and has been a guest lecturer at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School.

I am a researcher and educator in paleoanthropology and biology. Currently, I am developing machine learning and AI applications for human evolutionary studies with the University of Cambridge Leverhulme Center for Human Evolutionary Studies and the Alan Turing Institute.

Lyuba is a bioinformatics postdoc based at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit. She is interested in better understanding the uncertainties and biases associated with data collection, and how they affect downstream bioinformatics analysis.

Qi received her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she developed computational methods to study alternative splicing and the evolution of HIV. Later she joined the UCLA Division of Dermatology to help identify the resistance mechanisms of targeted cancer therapies using computational tools. 
    
In 2011 she was awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship to work in the Division of Theoretical Bioinformatics, and later the Division of Applied Bioinformatics, at the German Cancer Research Centre. There she worked on diverse bioinformatics projects with NGS data, such as studying genome-wide epigenetic regulation of cell differentiation, developing sequencing protocols and detecting somatic mutations from whole-genome sequencing data, as well as data integration and predictive modelling. 
    
Currently, she provides bioinformatics training and support to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in the lab of Professor Beverley Glover.
