Laura Isabel Galindez Olascoaga obtained her M.Sc. degree in Systems and Control from the Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2015 and her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2020.   During the winter of 2018, she was a visiting scholar at the Statistical and Relational Artificial Intelligence (Star AI) lab of UCLA. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) in UC Berkeley, where she investigates how to exploit the paradigm of Hyperdimensional Computing in applications that require intelligent feedback loops. Wannes Meert received his degrees of Master of Electrotechnical Engineering, Micro-electronics (2005), Master of Artificial Intelligence (2006) and Ph.D. in Computer Science (2011) from KU Leuven. He is a research manager in the DTAI section at KU Leuven. His work is focused on applying machine learning, artificial intelligence and anomaly detection technology to industrial application domains. Marian Verhelst is an associate professor at the MICAS laboratories of the EE Department of KU Leuven. Her research focuses on embedded machine learning, hardware accelerators, HW-algorithm co-design and low-power edge processing. Before that, she received a Ph D from KU Leuven in 2008, was a visiting scholar at the BWRC of UC Berkeley in the summer of 2005, and worked as a research scientist at Intel Labs, Hillsboro OR from 2008 till 2011. Marian is a member of the DATE and ISSCC executive committees, is TPC co-chair of AICAS2020 and tiny ML2020, and TPC member DATE and ESSCIRC. Marian is an SSCS Distinguished Lecturer, was a member of the Young Academy of Belgium, an associate editor for TVLSI, TCAS-II and JSSC and a member of the STEM advisory committee to the Flemish Government. Marian currently holds a prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Union and was the laureate of the Royal Academy of Belgium in 2016.​
