Rosa M. Crujeiras is a full professor of Statistics and OR at the Department of Statistics, Mathematical Analysis and Optimization at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. She is currently the Scientific Director of the Galician Center for Mathematical Research and Technology, CITMAga (https://citmaga.gal/en/home). After obtaining her PhD in 2007, she has been a post-doc researcher at the Institute de Statistique, Biostatistique et Sciences Actuarielles, UCLouvain. Since January 2008, she is a professor at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. Her research interests focus on models for spatial and circular data, non-parametric estimation, and goodness-of-fit testing among others.

Linda Danielson is CEO of IDDI. She joined IDDI in 2006 as Statistical Advisor and became Chief Operating Officer in 2011. Linda obtained her M.S. degree in Biostatistics in 1990 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has over 30 years of experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry and in the Clinical Trial environment. Before coming to IDDI in 2006, Linda was the Head of Biostatistics at UCB Pharma. Prior to moving to Belgium, Linda provided statistical support for the Beaver Dam Eye study at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Tengyao Wang is as an associate professor at the Department of Statistics at the London School of Economics and Political Science and prior to this he was a lecturer at University College London and a research fellow at Cantab Capital Institute for the Mathematics of Information, University of Cambridge. He is broadly interested in the area of high-dimensional statistics. His research focuses mainly on developing computationally efficient procedures for high-dimensional problems, while at the same time understanding the potential statistical limitations imposed by computational constraints.
