Confirmed speakers include:

  • Ashraf Brik, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel
  • Seth Herzon, Yale University, United States
  • Kami Hull, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, United States
  • James Nowick, University of California, Irvine, United States
  • RB Sunoj, IIT, Mumbai, India
  • Jin-Quan Yu, Scripps University, United States
  • Darren Dixon, University of Oxford, United Kingdom
  • Ning Jiao, Peking University, China
