Christoph Kessler is a professor
for Computer Science at Linköping University,
Sweden,
where he leads the Programming Environment Laboratory's research
group on compiler
technology and parallel computing. He received a PhD degree in Computer
Science in 1994
from the University of Saarbrücken, Germany, and a Habilitation degree in
2001 from the
University of Trier, Germany. In 2001 he joined Linköping university,
Sweden, as associate
professor at the computer science department (IDA). In 2007 he was
appointed full
professor at Linköping university. His research interests include parallel
programming,
compiler technology, code generation, program optimization, and software
composition. For

Stefano Markidis is Associate
Professor at the CST department at KTH. He received a MS
degree from Politecnico di Torino and a PhD degree from University of
Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign. His research interests include the investigation of novel
programming models
for HPC, and innovative algorithms for parallel computing.
Niclas Jansson is a postdoc
researcher at KTH
Royal Institute of Technology. He received his
M.S. in computer science in 2008 and a PhD in numerical analysis 2013
from KTH Royal
Institute of Technology. Between 2013 and 2016, Niclas was a postdoc
researcher at RIKEN
Advanced Institute for Computational Science, where he was part of the
application
development team of the Japanese exascale program, Flagship 2020,
focusing on
developing extreme scale multiphysics solvers for the K computer, and
currently holds a
visiting scientist position at RIKEN. He has extensive experience in
extreme scale computing
as lead developer of RIKEN's multiphysics framework CUBE and the HPC
branch of FEniCS.
Erwin Laure is the director of PDC-
HPC, professor for High Performance Computing, and
head of the department for Computational Science and Technologies
(CST) at KTH. His
research interests include programming environments, languages,
compilers and runtime
systems for parallel and distributed computing.
Joachim Hein received his PhD in
Physics in 1996 from the Universität Hamburg in Germany. He held post-
doctoral positions in Theoretical Particle Physics at The University of
Glasgow, Cornell University and The University of Edinburgh. From 2002
until 2013 he worked as an applications expert with a focus on parallel high
performance computing at EPCC at the University of Edinburgh, finishing
with the position of Computing Architect. Since 2010 he is working as a
researcher in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at Lund University and
as an applications expert, again with a focus on parallel computing at
LUNARC, the Centre for Scientific and Technical Computing at Lund
University.
Thor Wikfeldt is an Application Expert
in Molecular Dynamics at PDC, KTH. He obtained his
PhD in chemical physics in 2011 from Stockholm University and worked as
a postdoctoral
researcher at UCL, London, and the University of Iceland between 2011-
2015. At PDC, Thor
provides advanced user support in the areas of molecular dynamics and
computational
chemistry, and he also works for the CodeRefinery project where he
teaches better
scientific software development practices to students and researchers.
Pawel Herman is an Associate Prof. at EECS school at KTH and the research focus in his
group is on computational neuroscience, brain-like computing and machine/deep learning. He is also actively involved in
teaching mainly in the areas of probabilistic machine learning and neural networks. Pawel obtained his doctoral degree in
computer science from the University of Ulster, UK, where he worked on machine learning approaches to uncertainty handling
in electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). He continued this line of research and extended
towards cognitive neuroimaging during his first postdoctoral experience at Donders Centre at Radboud University in Nijmegen,
the Netherlands.
