Nikita Voinov has been Associate Professor of the Higher School of Software Engineering at the Institute of Computer Science and Technology of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University since 2012, becoming Deputy Director for Science and Research in 2018. Dr. Voinov's research interests run a gamut of topics including the technologies for developing mobile applications, information management and data storage, cloud infrastructure and services, and data science and analysis of big data. The current research projects he is participating in are "Technologies and toolset for reliable control of production areas of Internet of Things" (joint project with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India) and "Methods and technologies for verification and development of software for modeling and calculations using HPC platform with extramassive parallelism.

Tobias Shreck has been Professor at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization at the Faculty for Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering of Graz University of Technology since 2015. His research interests concern visual data analysis and applied 3D object retrieval. Professor Shreck has acted as a principal investigator in several funded research projects, describing how large collections of data can be visually explored and analyzed for data understanding and decision-making. Another focus of research is how users can interactively search for visual patterns in data, assisted by similarity functions, visual quality measures, and novel search interfaces, including approaches based on user sketching and eye tracking, and how to interactively visualize and steer machine learning approaches like clustering and regression analysis by users, supporting effective and scalable data exploration. Potential applications include, among others, data exploration for engineering and industrial applications, in research data repositories, and digital libraries. Professor Shreck
