Bashar Ahmad Nuseibeh (born 1967) is a computing engineer who currently holds a number of roles. He is professor of computing at The Open University, a professor of software engineering at the University of Limerick, and chief scientist of the Irish Software Research Centre Lero.
He is also an honorary professor at University College London and the National Institute of Informatics, Japan.
Nuseibeh studied at the University of Sussex where he received a BSc in Computer Systems Engineering in 1988. He then moved to Imperial College London to complete his MSc, which he was awarded in 1989. He remained at Imperial College London for the next decade, firstly to complete his PhD in Software Engineering in 1994, before becoming a postdoctoral researcher. He received his lectureship in 1996, and was promoted to reader in 2000. [1]
In 2001, Nuseibeh moved to the Open University as professor of computing, where he was director of research from 2002 to 2008. From 2009 to 2012, he took a secondment to Lero, The Irish Software Research Centre, as professor of software engineering and chief scientist. [2] In recent years, Nuseibeh has become a leading expert in privacy and security in the field of software development. [3] As a result he received two European Research Council (ERC) grants, including an Advanced Grant on Adaptive Security and Privacy. His research included award-winning work into adaptive privacy.
He was a visiting professor at Imperial College, and is currently a visiting professor at both University College London (UCL) and the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan. He is also a professor at the University of Limerick. [4]
Alan Curtis Kay is an American computer scientist best known for his pioneering work on object-oriented programming and windowing graphical user interface (GUI) design. At Xerox PARC he led the design and development of the first modern windowed computer desktop interface. There he also led the development of the influential object-oriented programming language Smalltalk, both personally designing most of the early versions of the language and coining the term "object-oriented." He has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Society of Arts. He received the Turing award in 2003.
David Lorge Parnas is a Canadian early pioneer of software engineering, who developed the concept of information hiding in modular programming, which is an important element of object-oriented programming today. He is also noted for his advocacy of precise documentation.
Jack Joseph Dongarra is an American computer scientist and mathematician. He is a University Distinguished Professor of Computer Science in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee. He holds the position of a Distinguished Research Staff member in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Turing Fellowship in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, and is an adjunct professor and teacher in the Computer Science Department at Rice University. He served as a faculty fellow at the Texas A&M University Institute for Advanced Study (2014–2018). Dongarra is the founding director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee. He was the recipient of the Turing Award in 2021.
Alan Richard Bundy is a professor at the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, known for his contributions to automated reasoning, especially to proof planning, the use of meta-level reasoning to guide proof search.
Sami Erol Gelenbe, a Turkish and French computer scientist, electronic engineer and applied mathematician, pioneered the field of Computer System and Network Performance. Currently Professor in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, he is also a Visiting Professor at King's College London, Associate Researcher in the I3S Laboratory, and the Abraham de Moivre Laboratory. Fellow of several National Academies, he Chairs the Informatics Section of Academia Europaea since 2023. His previous Professorial Chairs include the University of Liège (1974-1979), University Paris-Saclay (1979-1986), University Paris Descartes (1986-2005), NJIT (1991–93), ECE Chair at Duke University (1993-1998), University Chair Professor and Director of EECS, University of Central Florida (1998-2003), and Dennis Gabor Professor and Head of Intelligent Systems and Networks, Imperial College (2003-2019).
Meir "Manny" Lehman, FREng was a professor in the School of Computing Science at Middlesex University. From 1972 to 2002 he was a Professor and Head of the Computing Department at Imperial College London. His research contributions include the early realisation of the software evolution phenomenon and the eponymous Lehman's laws of software evolution.

Sir Anthony Charles Wiener Finkelstein is a British engineer and computer scientist. He is the President of City, University of London. He was Chief Scientific Adviser for National Security to HM Government until 2021.
Carl E. Landwehr is an American computer scientist whose research focus is cybersecurity and trustworthy computing. His work has addressed the identification of software vulnerabilities toward high assurance software development, architectures for intrusion-tolerant and multilevel security systems, token-based authentication, and system evaluation and certification methods. In an invited essay for ACSAC 2013, he proposed the idea of developing building codes for building software that is used in critical infrastructures. He has organized an NSF funded workshop to develop a building code and research agenda for medical device software security. The final committee report is available through the Cyber Security and Policy Institute of the George Washington University, and the building code through the IEEE.
Nicholas Robert Jennings is a British computer scientist and the current Vice-Chancellor and President of Loughborough University.
