Reut Levi received her M.Sc. from Tel-Aviv University and now is a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Dana Ron and Prof. Ronitt Rubinfeld. Her research focuses on testing properties of distributions.

Dana Ron received her Ph.D. from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem in 1995. Between 1995 and 1997 she was an NSF Postdoc at MIT. During the academic year 1997-98 she was a science scholar at the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute (Radcliffe College) and at MIT. Since 1998 she has been a faculty member at the Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University. During the academic year 2003-04 she was a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University. Her research focuses on sublinear approximation algorithms and in particular on property testing.

Ronitt Rubinfeld received her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and PhD at the University of California, Berkeley under the direction of Manuel Blum. She held postdoctoral positions at DIMACS and the Hebrew University at Jerusalem. After several years as a faculty member at Cornell University and NEC Research Institute, she currently is on the faculties of MIT and Tel Aviv University. She has been a recipient of the ONR Young Investigator award, NSF Career Award, Sloan Fellowship, Cornell Association for Computer Science Undergraduates Faculty of the Year award and a Cornell College of Engineering Teaching award. She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2006. Her research focuses on sub-linear time algorithms for big datasets.
