Professor Simon Parkinson is an award-winning academic in the intersection between Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence. He is a Professor at the University of Huddersfield and a member of the UK Government's Cyber Security Advisory Board (GCAB). He has been researching topics on the interface between AI and Cyber Security, with a focus on transport. He has led to the completion of funded projects with a total value of £1.3M, with funding coming from the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), EU Commission, and The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), amongst others. His consultancy work for the UK Government into threats facing Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (Ref: SO18277) resulted in influential work helping to shape government standards (PAS 1885:2018) and EU policy (EUR 29782 EN). He has experience in organising and engaging in conferences and knowledge dissemination events. He has also co-edited two books on topics including Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Digital Forensics.

Professor Mauro Vallati is an accomplished academic with a proven track record in the field of AI for sustainable transport. He holds a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship on AI for Autonomic Urban Traffic Monitoring and Control. He is an ACM Senior Member and ACM Distinguished Speaker on AI for the UK. He is a Professor of AI at the University of Huddersfield, where he leads the Autonomous Intelligent Systems research centre and the AI for Urban Traffic Control research team, and Visiting Professor at the University of Genova, Italy. Prof Vallati has extensive experience in real-world applications of AI methods and techniques to sustainable transport, as testified by the patents in the field and by the support of Innovate UK, UKRI, EPSRC, EU, and industry (totalling more than £2M). He actively supports the research community by supervising and examining PhD Students (both in the UK and in the EU), organising top-ranked conferences,
