Monowar Bhuyan (PhD, Senior Member, IEEE and WASP Fellow) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computing Science, Umeå University, Sweden. He earned his Master's and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and engineering from Tezpur University, Assam, India, in 2009 and 2014, respectively. Currently, he leads the Cyber Analytics and Learning Group and is a Senior Leader at The Autonomous Distributed Systems Lab. Prior to this, he worked at various academic institutions, including the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, Assam Kaziranga University in India, and Umeå University, Sweden, at different levels, from a Junior Scientist to an Associate Professor between January 2009 and December 2019. Dr. Bhuyan has an extensive publication record, with over 100 peer-reviewed papers in the leading international journals and conference proceedings and has written an advanced textbook with Springer. Among his accolades are the Senior Research Fellow (SRF) award from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India, two Best Paper Awards (ACM ICACCI 2012 and ICONIP 2023), and the Best Faculty Award from Assam Kaziranga University, India. His experience leading and co-leading research projects attracted over $3.5 million USD from national (WASP, Kempe Foundation, STINT), European Commission (Horizon Europe, MSCA Doctoral Networks), and other international grant agencies. His research interests span machine learning, anomaly detection, systems and AI security, and distributed systems.

Matthew England is a Professor of Computer Science at Coventry University, UK; and currently serves as the Director of the university’s Research Centre of Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling. His research has focussed on algorithms for symbolic computation (exact mathematics / computer algebra), particularly for real polynomial systems, including: the derivation of new algorithms, their analysis, their implementation in computer algebra systems, and their application in fields as diverse as biology and economics. He is on the editorial board for Springer Mathematics in Computer Science and Maple Transactions and is recognised as a member of the UK Council of Professors and Heads of Computing. His most recent work has focused on the integration of computer algebra with other areas of computer science: SAT/SMT solvers, where he developed the cylindrical algebraic coverings approach used by cvc5; and machine learning, where he was the first to use ML as an optimisation tool for computational algebra, and now works with Maplesoft of the integration of ML into their flagship routines.
