Ali is Senior Data Scientist and public-health/transport modeller in the Public Health Modelling (PHM) group at the MRC-Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge. He is interested in active travel, specifically cycling research. 

Coming from a Computer Science background, with a focus on modelling in his PhD, for over a decade, he has been doing data-driven research and development. This includes Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), Statistical Modelling (or Machine Learning), Interactive Visualization, all with a focus on collaborative, transparent and reproducible research. In addition, he leads in project management and managing, training, guiding, and teaching of junior staff in his Unit. His work can be seen on GitHub at https://github.com/usr110.

Andrew Lim obtained his PhD from the University of Dundee, working on an antibacterial drug discovery project. He then proceeded to work as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Drug Discovery in a project funded by the Tres Cantos Open Lab Foundation, in which he represented the academic partner Oxford Clinical Research Unit based in Vietnam to work in an academic-industrial collaborative project on the development of an intracellular assay in GSK Tres Cantos research site in Spain. He later joined the ALBORADA Drug Discovery Institute in 2020 as the Assay Development and Screening Scientist working on neurodegenerative diseases.

My research focuses on the applications of machine learning to problems in structural biology and drug discovery.

Dominik graduated from Applied Physics at the University of Warsaw, before transitioning to neuroscience. In 2021, he completed PhD at Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre. Also, the same year, he became a Software Sustainability Institute Fellow concentrated on promoting good scientific programming practices. He organizes workshops focused on testing and code reviews. Currently, Dominik works as a Research Associate in the FlyConnectome group, where he develops computational tools that support structural analysis of a fruit fly (Drosophila) nervous system.
