Harry Buhrman received his Ph.D. from the University of Amsterdam in 1993. His advisors
were Peter van Emde Boas and Steven Homer.
He is now group leader of the Algorithms and Complexity group at CWI and holds a part-time position as full professor at the University of Amsterdam.
His interests include quantum computing, complexity theory, and computational biology.

Oded Regev graduated from
Tel Aviv University in 2001 under the
supervision of Yossi Azar.
He spent two years as a postdoc at the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton, and one year at the
University of California, Berkeley.
He is currently with the cryptography group at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris. His research interests include quantum computation, computational
aspects of lattices, and other topics in theoretical computer
science. He also enjoys photography, especially of his baby girl.
Giannicola Scarpa is a Ph.D. student at
CWI, Amsterdam, supervised by Ronald de
Wolf. In 2009, he received a Master's degree in Computer Science
from the University of Salerno,
Italy. His research interests include quantum computing,
non-locality, combinatorial optimization, and game theory. In his
free time, he is a devoted movie-goer but unsuccessful movie
maker, he devours short stories, writes some, and he often claims
he is going to lose weight.
