Gabriela Calistro Rivera
Research Interests: Galaxies and accreting black holes in the early Universe; multiwavelength observations (from the radio to X-rays)
Current Institute: Leiden Observatory, the Netherlands

Nicola Gentile Fusillo
Research Interests: White dwarfs, specifically stellar remnants; large area surveys like SDSS and Gaia; large-scale searches for white dwarfs and their spectroscopic follow-up; using select white dwarf systems to study the composition of rocky planetesimals
Current institute: University of Warwick, UK

Marianne Heida
Research Interests: Galactic and extragalactic X-ray binaries; using optical and near-infrared observations to identify  donor stars in these systems and constrain the compact object masses; characterisation of the donor stars of a large population of ultra-luminous X-ray sources in order to constrain binary stellar evolution scenarios
Current Institute: Caltech, USA

George Lansbury
Research Interests: Extragalactic and (high-energy) X-ray surveys, obscured black hole growth, and the cosmic evolution of AGN / quasars and their host galaxies; multi-wavelength observations from both Space (e.g. NuSTAR) and ground-based facilities (e.g. ESO)
Current Institute: University of Cambridge, UK

Tommaso Marchetti
Research Interests: Finding hypervelocity stars in the Gaia catalogue; combining data mining routines and spectroscopic observations to confirm the most interesting candidates and unveiling their ejection location
Current institute: Leiden Observatory, the Netherlands

Paulo Miles
Research Interests: Atmospheric characterisation of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs; photometry, spectroscopy and polarimetry in the optical and near-infrared
Current Institute: University of Western Ontario, Canada
