Márton Karsai is an Assistant Professor with INRIA research chair in Computer Science at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (France), member of IXXI Complex System Institute and the Laboratoire de l”Informatique du Parallélisme. He left the Béla Bartók Conservatory in Budapest (Hungary) in 2000 and received his MSc degree in 2005 in Computational Physics at the University of Szeged (Hungary). He obtained co-supervised Ph D degrees in 2009 from the University of Szeged and CNRS – Université Joseph Fourier (France). He has been a postdoctoral fellow at Aalto University (Finland) and Northeastern University (USA). He is a lecturer at Collegio Carlo Alberto (Italy), visiting scientist at Aalto University (Finland), member of the Complex System and the Network Science Societies, and an editorial board member of the journal of Advances in Complex Systems (Word Scientific). His research interest falls within Human Dynamics, Computational Social Science, and Data Science, especially focusingon heterogeneous temporal dynamics, spatial and temporal networks, and social contagion phenomena. His main expertise are in analysing large human interaction datasets and in the development of data-driven models of various social phenomena. Hang-Hyun Jo is currently a Junior Research Group Leader/Professor at Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (Republic of Korea). He received his MSc (2001) and Ph D (2006) in Statistical Physics at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He has previously been a Research Fellow at Korea institute for Advanced Study, a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto university (Finland), and a Research Professor at Pohang University of Science and Technology (Republic of Korea). He was awarded Yong-Bong Prize by The Korean Physical Society in 2017 as his achievements in statistical physics were recognized. His research interests cover various topics in statistical physics, complex systems, and computational social science, including complex networks and bursty dynamics. Kimmo Kaski, is Full Professor of Computational Science at Aalto University School of Science (Finland), Supernumerary Fellow of Wolfson College of Oxford University and Associate Fellow of Said Business School of Oxford University (UK), and External Faculty member of Complexity Science Hub Vienna (Austria). He received his MSc in Electrical Engineering at Helsinki University of Technology and obtained his D.Phil. degree in Theoretical Physics at University of Oxford.  He has been as Academy Professor of the Academy of Finland for two five-year terms, as the Director of Centre of Excellence in Computational Science for two six year terms as well as Professor at Temple University in Philadelphia (USA) and at Tampere University of Technology (Finland) together with having held fixed-term professorial positions at Southern Illinois University (USA) and Oxford University.
