EGI Technical Forum 2010

	Sara Coelho Sara read geology in Lisbon and Mainz and for years used field work as an excuse to travel around the world. After finishing a masters in science communication, and working as a reporter for Science and Planet Earth online, Sara joined the EGI dissemination team in July 2010.

Oscar Koeroo
Oscar Koeroo has worked at Nikhef for the past 7 years in the Physics Data Processing (PDP) group on security middleware developer. He is a member of the Risk Assessment Team of the CSIRT, among other development tasks. Oscar started his career at Nikhef developing LCMAPS. Today he’s the co-developer and co-maintainer for various libraries tools like LCAS, LCMAPS, gLExec, SCAS and the EES.

	Oxana Smirnova Oxana Smirnova is NDGF-CERN Coordinator and an Associate Professor at the High Energy Particle Physics division in Lund University, Sweden. A graduate of Moscow State University, she obtained Ph.D. in physics from Lund University. Apart of doing physics research, Oxana is heavily engaged with Grid technologies, being an active contributor to the NorduGrid's ARC middleware.

	Stuart Purdie With a degrees spread between Chemistry, Physics and Material Science, Stuart currently describes himself as a Computer Scientist, with interests in decentralised and distribed computing, and human-computer interaction. Splitting his time between St Andrews and Glasgow, he works on the user support side of EGEE.

Neasan O'Neill
Neasan works on dissemination for GridPP and Enabling Grids for EsciencE (EGEE). With a background in chemistry and science communication he has been working with the Grid community since January 2006. Outside work he can be found either playing with his SLR camera or listening to what can only be described as music with a minority appeal. Described by at least one person as polite and charmimg he refutes those, and similar, claims.

	Catherine Gater Catherine has a background in Materials Science and a keen interest in talking about scientific research rather than doing any herself. Catherine is now Chief Administrative Officer and Dissemination Manager for EGI.eu in the Netherlands and is project coordinator for the e-ScienceTalk project.

	Daniel Lezzi Daniele has degrees in Computer Engineering and Information Technology Engineering and has been a researcher for the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Changes. His research covers high performance, distributed and grid computing and programming models. Since July 2008 Daniele has worked for the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

	Manisha Lalloo Hailing from a chemistry background, Manisha now puts her science communication skills to good use in the world of grid computing. She joined the GridTalk and e-ScienceTalk teams following a stint in Brussels, helping the European Parliament promote their many events. Manisha also works as a freelance chemistry writer and in her spare time likes to dance

	Corentin Chevalier Corentin is e-ScienceTalk's technical wizard. He's specialized in website conception, (particularly flash, animations and dynamic systems) and doing some grid computing webcasts. He also keeps close track of new technologies and concepts, of which grid computing is a biggie.
