About

PhD from University West in Sweden. Anna Sigga's research interest concerns design, development and use of digital artifacts and platforms as well as research regarding the impact of increased data flow, data work and datafication in society. 

Grischa is currently an Assistant Professor at Reykjavík University, Iceland. He holds a PhD degree in Software Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. His interests are in empirical software engineering, typically in close collaboration with industry – analysing and tackling actual problems together with practitioners. His expertise is in requirements engineering, model-based engineering, agile methods, and software engineering education.

PhD from Rennes1 University in Rennes, France. During his PhD, he worked for INRIA (French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation), and his research was on content-based image retrieval using distributed systems and working with very large datasets (web-scale). 
He is a member of CRESS (Cress), where he leads the data-centric systems theme. His interests are all kinds of data collection, storage and processing, content-based image processing, distributed and cloud processing, as well as a general interest in UAVs and drones. 

PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he performed interdisciplinary research at the MIT Media Lab. Leads the Socially Expressive Computing research group at CADIA, which focuses on the computational modelling and simulation of human social expression in virtual and mixed environments. The chair of the RU Research Council. Co-founder of a couple of companies in the area of serious games for training.

PhD in Mathematics from Brown University. Served as the chair of the Icelandic Mathematics Society for several years. Does research in combinatorics, more specifically permutation patterns and algorithms for discovering and proving conjectures in that field.

PhD from the University of Sheffield. Research and development in Natural Language Processing, including part-of-speech tagging, parsing, corpus construction, information extraction, machine translation and computer-assisted language learning.

Interdisciplinary researcher, applying deep learning to time series analysis in medical health care, and other fields. Also working with simulation and modelling of distributed systems, and sensor networks. Designed and developed the first computer simulation of the modern banking system to be based on double entry book keeping. Appointed to the supervisory board of the Central Bank of Iceland in 2018 by the Pirate Party of Iceland.

Luca Aceto (PhD, University of Sussex) is scientific co-director of ICE-TCS, the Icelandic Centre of Excellence in Theoretical Computer Science, and was the president of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science in the period July 2012-July 2016. Since July 2014, he is an elected member of the Informatics Section of Academia Europaea, the Academy of Europe. His research focuses on concurrency theory, semantics of programming and specification languages, and logic in computer science. 

Research on algorithms and complexity in a world of big data, including approximation, online, and streaming algorithms. Current main focus on bandwidth-efficient distributed algorithms. Past interests on wireless networking and bioinformatics. 

PhD from KU Leuven in Belgium. María's research interests include data science and analytics, network science, mobility, and machine learning with applications in industry.

PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The chair for the CRESS research center. Her research is focus on user experience (UX) and usability of software system, where agile processes are used, e.g. Scrum and Kanban. 

PhD from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. My research interests include structural proof theory and type theory, algebraic and categorical logic, semantics of programming languages, type systems and program logics, functional programming, constructive mathematics.
