Roger Forty came to CERN as a Fellow in 1990 to work on ALEPH at LEP, and then stayed on as a research staff member. He joined LHCb right at the birth of the collaboration and has served as deputy spokesperson twice. His research career has focused on flavour physics but also instrumentation since he optimised the design of the RICH detectors for LHCb. He now acts a the deputy head of the CERN Experimental Physics department.

Stefan Ohm obtained his PhD in 2010 from Heidelberg University. After a fellowship at the universities of Leicester and Leeds, he is now a postdoctoral researcher at DESY near Berlin. He is a leading member of the HESS collaboration, which operates an observatory for very high-energy gamma rays. He is also a member of the “next generation” Cherenkov Telescope Array consortium.

Kathryn Zurek completed her PhD in 2006 at the University of Washington. After postdoctoral positions at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Fermilab, she became a professor at the University of Michigan. She joined the LBNL theory group in 2014, and is currently a visiting scientist in the CERN Theory Department. Her research interests span both studies of new physics signatures at colliders, as well as astrophysical searches for dark matter and new physics in the neutrino sector. In 2010 she received an NSF CAREER award and became a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2016.

Laura Baudis was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University before becoming a professor at the University of Florida and then the Technical University of Aachen. She is now a professor at the University of Zurich. Her research interests are in astroparticle physics and cosmology, in particular direct dark matter detection and neutrino physics. In 2005 she was a recipient of an NSF CAREER award. Since 2015 she is a fellow of the American Physical Society.
