Dr Jean-Baptiste (JB) Poline is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill; the co-Chair of the NeuroHub and Chair of the Technical Steering Committee for the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) at the Montreal Neurological Institute & Hospital (the NEURO); and a Primary Investigator at the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health. Among its early pioneers, Dr Poline is a leading researcher in the fields of fMRI, imaging genetics research, and the neuroinformatics technologies that make a big-data approach to ne

In addition to leading a productive laboratory, Professor Rosa is also the Deputy Head of the Centre of Excellence for Integrative Brain Function (CIBF) and the head of Monash BDI’s Neuroscience Program. The CIBF is an ARC-funded multidisciplinary program across six Australian Universities, one Medical Research Institute and eight international partner organisations, focused on research at the interface between Neuroscience, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science.

Mike Hawrylycz joined the Allen Institute in 2003. He is responsible for the direction of the data analysis and annotation effort. Hawrylycz has worked in a variety of applied mathematics and computer science areas, addressing challenges in consumer and investment finance, electrical engineering and image processing, and computational biology and genomics. Hawrylycz received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Prof. Maryann Martone received her BA from Wellesley College in Biological Psychology and Ancient Greek and her Ph. D. in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego. She is a professor Emerita at UCSD, but still maintains an active laboratory and currently serves as the Chair of the University of California Academic Senate Committee on Academic Computing and Communications. She started her career as a neuroanatomist, specializing in light and electron microscopy, but her main research for the past 15 years focused on informatics for neuroscience.

Dr. Marta Garrido leads the Cognitive Neuroscience and Computational Psychiatry Laboratory at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne and is Chief Investigator in the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Integrative Brain Function. Dr Garrido received her PhD in 2008 from University College London under the supervision of Professor Karl Friston.

Sanmi Koyejo an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Koyejo's research interests are in developing the principles and practice of adaptive and robust machine learning. Additionally, Koyejo focuses on applications to neuroscience and biomedical imaging. Koyejo completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin advised by Joydeep Ghosh and completed postdoctoral research at Stanford University with a focus on developing machine learning techniques for neuroimaging data.

Nicole Pfeiffer is versatile product manager with proven leadership success in developing product strategy with key stakeholders and internal leadership, creating detailed product launch plans, collaborating with engineering teams on implementation, negotiating features and timelines, interlacing marketing and community outreach teams throughout product planning, and completing successful launch of new projects with iterative improvement and maintenance cycles through feedback and analytics.

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Maass holds a Phd (1974) and Habilitation (1978) in Mathematics from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. From 1979 to 1984, he conducted research at MIT, the University of Chicago, and UC Berkeley, as a Heisenberg Fellow of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. He then joined the faculty of the University of Illinois in Chicago, where he served as an Associate Professor and Full Professor.
