Petra Bonfert-Taylor is a Professor and the Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion at Dartmouth College's Thayer School of Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Technical University of Berlin in 1996 and spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan before joining Wesleyan University as a tenure-track professor. During her time at Wesleyan, she created the course "Introduction to Complex Analysis" (available on Coursera). In 2015, she transitioned to Dartmouth as a tenured full professor. Petra has an extensive record of publications and has delivered lectures to both national and international audiences. Her research has been supported by numerous grants from the National Science Foundation, and she is equally committed to teaching. She has received multiple accolades, including the Binswanger Prize for Excellence in Teaching at Wesleyan University, the Excellence in Teaching Award at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering, and the NH High Tech Council Tech Teacher of the Year Award. Petra is deeply committed to broadening access to high-quality education and developing innovative teaching methods that provide equal opportunities for students from all backgrounds.

Rémi Sharrock is an Associate Professor at Telecom Paris, where he specializes in autonomic computing and its applications to large-scale distributed systems, including cloud computing and smart grids.
