Suchitra is Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge. Her research seeks to discover exotic quantum phases of matter in advanced materials. Her experiments reveal new material universes in which billions and billions of electrons interact with each other to yield surprising and unpredictable macroscopic quantum entangled phases. Her research explores emergent quantum phases including superconductivity, and a new unconventional insulating state of matter she recently discovered. Suchitra is co-founder of Bread Theatre and Film Company, Cambridge and a collaborator on the Radical Matter and Entanglement research programmes led by Johnny Golding at the Royal College of Art. She participates in scientific research solely for non-imperialistic, non-militaristic purposes.

Harold Offeh is an artist working in a range of media including performance, video, photography, learning and social arts practice. He is interested in the space created by the inhabiting or embodying of histories, and employs humour as a means to confront the viewer with historical narratives and contemporary culture. He has exhibited and performed widely in the UK and internationally including Tate (Britain and Modern); South London Gallery; Kettle’s Yard; Wysing Art Centre; Studio Museum Harlem, New York; MAC VAL, France; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark and Art Tower Mito, Japan.

Offeh studied Critical Fine Art Practice at the University of Brighton and has an MA in Fine art Photography from the Royal College of Art, London and a PhD in Contemporary Art and Performance from Leeds Beckett University. He lives in Cambridge and works in London and Oxford as a Senior Tutor in Art at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford and a tutor in MA Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art, London.

Una is a life scientist in the fields of vascular biology, immunology, and biotechnology. She was the President and CEO of Diagnostics For All, a company that develops inexpensive diagnostics for global health and agriculture, and former President and CEO of AVANT Immunotherapeutics, which develops vaccines and immunotherapeutics for cancer, travellers, food safety, and global health.

Mete is Head of the Department of Physics at Cambridge. He obtained his PhD from Boston University working on multiparameter entanglement and quantum interference with entangled photons. He was a postdoctoral fellow at ETH Zurich, and moved to the University of Cambridge to found the Quantum Optical Materials and Systems research group. His current research efforts include optical control of spin-photon interfaces in solids, development of nanoscale quantum sensors and investigations of novel quantum materials and devices. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Turkish Science Academy.

Andy is a Professor of High Energy Physics at Cambridge University.

Jeremy is Professor of Nanophotonics at Cambridge, and a leader in nanoscience and nanotechnology, working for much of his career at the interface between academia and industry. He is interested in constructing nano-materials with unusual interactions with light, especially ones that can be fabricated on a large scale which can lead to practical use. Jeremy has developed a range of unusual nanophotonics including kilometre-scale polymer opals, and explores what happens when light is confined to nanometer volumes or below, for probing single molecules and reactions. Jeremy is author of 'The Secret Life of Science: How It Really Works and Why It Matters.'

Sarah’s research interests are in the development of novel imaging approaches to understand the role of the tumour microenvironment in cancer progression. She is also active in translating her findings into clinical trials and was recently awarded the CRUK Future Leaders in Cancer Research Prize and SPIE Early Career Achievement Award in recognition of her interdisciplinary research innovation. Sarah takes an active role in teaching and mentoring the next generation of scientists. She has acted as an ambassador for public engagement and interdisciplinary research training throughout her career and has received the MSCA Award for Nurturing Research Talent.

Diana Fusco is a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge and research group leader investigating how evolution shapes the interactions at the molecular and single-cell scale to give rise to collective behaviors at the population scale, to understand the fundamental principles that link these phenomena. Her interest in biology started as a physics undergrad studying topological properties of the transcriptional network in budding yeast. After that, she was hooked and moved to soft matter and protein self-assembly for her PhD, under the supervision of Dr. Charbonneau at Duke. Unsatisfied with addressing questions exclusively on the computational side, she embarked onto a hybrid postdoc in Dr. Hallatschek lab at UC Berkeley, where she studied the evolutionary consequences of spatial range expansion combining microbiology and mathematical modeling.

Didier is Professor of Astrophysics at the Cavendish Laboratory and Geneva University. He is at the origin of the exoplanet revolution in astrophysics. Until recently, the Solar System has provided us with the only basis for our knowledge of planets and life in the universe. In 1995, he dramatically changed this with a discovery, made with Michel Mayor, of the first giant planet outside the solar system. This discovery spawned a real revolution in astronomy both in terms of new instrumentation and understanding of planet formation and evolution. At Cambridge, he is leading a comprehensive research program to understand the formation, structure, and habitability of exoplanets in the Universe as well as to promote and share this work with the public. In 2019, Didier jointly won the Nobel Prize for Physics along with Professor James Peebles and Professor Michel Mayor for their pioneering advances in physical cosmology.
