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.

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 postdoctoral research associate in the Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Department focusing on automation of laboratory biological research using a combination of AI, informatics, lab robotics, and software engineering. I have previously worked on metabolomic systems biology with mass spectrometry analysis. Currently, my interests are especially focused on the intersection of knowledge representation, generative AI, and symbolic methods for automating scientific discovery.
