Stefan Kratsch is a Professor for theoretical computer science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He did his PhD studies in 2008–2010 at Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, and since then he has worked as a postdoc at Utrecht University and Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics, as a junior research group leader at Technical University Berlin, and Professor for theoretical computer science at University of Bonn. His research interests include parameterized complexity, efficient preprocessing, and computational complexity.

Magnus Wahlström is a Reader in computer science at Royal Holloway, University of London, where he has worked since 2013. He got his PhD in 2007 from the University of Linköping, Sweden, under the supervision of Peter Jonsson, and in between he worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany in the group of Kurt Mehlhorn. His research lies broadly in the fields of parameterized complexity, exact algorithms and CSPs.
