Xin Li is an associate professor in the Computer Science
Department at Johns Hopkins University.
He received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Texas at Austin
under the supervision of
David Zuckerman.
After his Ph.D.,
Xin was a Simons Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington.
His research interests include the use of randomness in computation,
complexity theory, coding theory, and cryptography. A significant
part of his work has been on explicit constructions of randomness extractors.
Previously
he did some work on quantum computing and human--computer
interaction.

Shachar Lovett graduated from the
Weizmann Institute of Science
in 2010; his advisors were
Omer Reingold and
Ran Raz.
He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study,
School of Mathematics between 2010-2012. Since then, he has been
a faculty member at the
University of California, San Diego.
He is interested in the role that structure and randomness play in
computation and mathematics, and in particular in computational
complexity, coding theory, pseudorandomness,
and algebraic constructions.
