Noah Fleming is an assistant professor at Lund University. Prior to that he was an assistant professor at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, was a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego, and a research fellow at the Simons Institute. He completed his Ph.D. under the supervision of Toniann Pitassi at the University of Toronto. He focuses mainly on proof complexity, circuit complexity, TFNP, and related areas.

Mika Göös is an assistant professor at EPFL in the Theory Group. Previously, he was a postdoc at Stanford Theory, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the ToC group at Harvard. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Toronto under the watchful eye of Toniann Pitassi. He obtained his B.S. from Aalto University, and his M.S. from the University of Oxford. In his spare time, Mika enjoys rock climbing and maintains a viral YouTube climbing channel. However, he is forsaking his dream of climbing a 7C-grade outdoor boulder one day due to now having small children at home.

Toniann Pitassi is a professor at Columbia University. She received a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1992. After that, she spent 2 years as a postdoc at UCSD, and then 2 years as an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh. For the next four years, she was a faculty member of the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona. In the fall of 2001, she moved back to the University of Toronto where she worked until 2021. Her primary research interests are complexity theory, and fairness and privacy in machine learning.
