Yona Raekow
With little experience
in grid computing, Yona started in one of the largest grid projects funded by the EU: BEinGRID, which she says is a lot of fun, especially travelling all over Europe. Yona received her masters degree in computer science from the University of Connecticut.
Since she is still interested in mystery, she is persuing her PhD in cryptography at the University of Bonn in Germany. |

Valeria Mele
Valeria is from Naples and has a degree in computer science. She is now a PhD student at the University of Naples Federico II, working with parallel software in image processing. Valeria is very interested in high power computing and grid computing. She joined ISSGC'08 to learn more about grids... and to meet interesting people. |

Giulio Galiero
Giulio is fairly new to grid computing. He has been working on grid technologies since the begininning of 2007, when he joined the Engineering Ingegneria Informatica S.p.A R&D Grid Unit. He is currently involved in GriFin, a national project about grid and finance, dealing with security issues related to this area. During his free time, he loves enjoying life, juggling and... going to Hungary! |

Tony Rosequist
Tony is a computer science undergraduate at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He hasn't had any direct experience in grid computing, but many of his professors specialize in supercomputing, peer-to-peer systems, and so on, and he'd like to become more involved in these things. Plus, he's never been overseas before, so is pretty excited about the entire trip. |

Ben Clifford
Ben has been working on grid software since the dawn of the 21st Century.
He trained as a mathematician before moving into software development,
working mostly on the Globus Toolkit and Swift. When he isn't doing
that, he spends most of him time on a global barhopping mission. Ben is a staff member at ISSGC'08. |

Ben Sterrett
Ben is an undergraduate in Computer Science at Clemson University. He has recently taken courses in grid/distributed computing and computation theory, both of which interest him greatly. He has since had silly thoughts of changing the world somehow. He has a distracting tendency to play too many video games, and he enjoys taking pictures of people when they least expect it. |

Cristy Burne
A biotechnologist with zero experience in IT, Cristy somehow spent last year editing iSGTW and has now joined the GridTalk team to continue her foray in to computer science. Cristy has worked as a technical editor in Japan, a science presenter in South Africa, and a freelance writer in Australia. |

Corentin Chevalier
Corentin is GridTalk's technical wizard and has just joined the grid universe. He's specialized in website conception, particularly flash, animations and dynamic systems. He also keeps close track of new technologies and concepts, of which grid computing is a biggie. |
