Ashley Juavinett (speaker) is an assistant teaching professor of neurobiology at UC San Diego. Her research and writing on education and careers in neuroscience aim to encourage underrepresented students and improve access to coding education.

Thomas Wachtler (speaker) has a background in physics and received his doctoral degree from the University of Tübingen. He was postdoctoral researcher at the Salk Institute for biological Studies and at the Universities of Freiburg and Marburg. His research interests are in the neural mechanisms of sensory processing with focus on vision. In his research he combines experimental and computational approaches to study the neural principles and mechanisms of sensory processing and coding. He is also working on neuroinformatic developments in the context of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility. Since 2009, he has been Scientific Director of the German Neuroinformatics Node at LMU Munich, leading developments of tools and services for research data management in neuroscience.

Megan Peters (speaker) is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. Prior to joining UCI she was on the faculty at UC Riverside in the Department of Bioengineering.  She received her Ph.D. in computational cognitive neuroscience (psychology) from UCLA. Her research aims to reveal how the brain represents and uses uncertainty, and performs adaptive computations based on noisy, incomplete information. She specifically focuses on how these abilities support metacognitive evaluations of the quality of (mostly perceptual) decisions, and how these processes might relate to phenomenology and conscious awareness. She uses neuroimaging, computational modeling, machine learning and neural stimulation techniques to study these topics. Dr. Peters is also the President and co-founder of Neuromatch, a global nonprofit providing accessible and affordable education and networking opportunities to neuroscientists and trainees around the globe, with an estimated enrollment over 4000 over the past 2 years spanning over 100 countries.

Mateusz Kostecki (speaker) is a PhD student at Nencki Institute. His research focuses on the influence of social information on spatial navigation and representation of space in mice. He is a coordinator of Nencki Open Lab project that promotes open science by organizing workshops, courses and summer schools.

Daniel Wójcik (moderator) is a professor of neuroscience and a head of the Laboratory of Neuroinformatics at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Science. He is also the Head of the PhD Studies at the Nencki Institute and the Chair of the Programme Board of the Warsaw PhD School in Natural and BioMedical Sciences. He is a member of the FENS-CHET committee and of the Training Committee of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). He was the Polish Representative at the International INCF Governing Board (2007-2015); the Governing Board Member and Treasurer of the Polish Society for Neuroscience (2011-2015); a Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences Neurobiology Committee (since 2011, Deputy Chair since 2020) and a Director of the Organization for Computational Neuroscience (2015-2017). A physicist by training, he worked on the interface of classical and quantum chaos and statistical physics at the Center for Theoretical Physics in Warsaw, University of Maryland, College Park and Georgia Institute of Technology, before moving to the Nencki Institute where he switched to neuroscience in 2003. His main goal as a CHET member is to promote mathematics and computations as well as reproducible science as core topics of neuroscience education.
