She earned a B.S. in physics from the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain.

ALFRED HERO is the John H. Holland Distinguished University Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the R. Jamison and Betty Williams Professor of Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research is on data science and developing theory and algorithms for data collection, analysis, and visualization that use statistical machine learning and distributed optimization. These are being applied to network data analysis, personalized health, multimodality information fusion, data-driven physical simulation, materials science, dynamic social media, and database indexing and retrieval. Dr. Hero has held visiting positions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Lucent Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill), and Ford Motor Company in addition to the University of Nice, the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, and Telecom-ParisTech in France. Dr. Hero was president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE’s) Signal Processing Society (2006–2008) and was on the Board of Directors of IEEE (2009–2011) where he served as director of Division IX (Signals and Applications). He is also a member of the Big Data Special Interest Group of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Dr. Hero received a B.S. (summa cum laude) from Boston University (1980) and a Ph.D. from Princeton University (1984), both in electrical engineering.

REBECCA LAWRENCE is managing director of F1000 Group. She was responsible for the launch of the open research publishing platform F1000 Research in January 2013, and has subsequently led the initiative behind the recent launch of Wellcome Open Research, Gates Open Research, and many other funder- and institution-based publishing platforms. She is a member of the High-Level Advisory Group for the European Commission’s Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP), chairing their work on next-generation indicators and their integrated advice: OSPP-REC. She has been a co-chair of a number of working groups focusing on data and peer review, for organizations including the Research Data Alliance and ORCID. She is also an Advisory Board member for the data policy and standards initiative, FAIRsharing, and for DORA (the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment). She has worked in scientific, technical,

and medical publishing for almost 20 years for several publishers including Elsevier where she built and ran the Drug Discovery Group. She originally trained and qualified as a pharmacist, and holds a Ph.D. in cardiovascular pharmacology from University of Nottingham.
