Clive Neal-Sturgess was educated King Edward VI Grammar School Nuneaton. He was a Student Apprentice at Clarkson International (now called Degree Apprenticeships), and graduated with a 1st Class Honours’ Degree from Lanchester College Coventry. He took his PhD in the Forming of Tool Steels at the University of Birmingham.  He held the Jaguar Chair of Automotive Engineering 1988-2004 and was formerly Head of Mechanical Engineering at Birmingham.  

He has spent the majority of his academic career researching Finite Element Methods (FEM), Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM), Co-evolution and applying Peak Virtual Power (PVP) to predicting injury severity to car occupants and pedestrians in vehicle crashes and  falls. He has had a long (currently 52 years) fruitful research career, h-index 21, currently 214 publications and three books, with over 35,000 reads and over 1700 citations. He was Director of the Automotive Safety Centre for 15 years during which time we investigated around 7500 KSI’s (killed, seriously injured). Whilst in post he was co-holder of £6.7m of research grants including EU and EPSRC. He was a member of the Editorial Boards of three Journals. He is a member of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety. He is currently Chairman of the Academics in Mechanical Engineering (AiME) Sectoral Group of the Engineering Professors Council, and Chairman of the Midlands Centre of the Automotive Division of the IMechE. He is also the Clerk/Trustee of the Newport’s School Foundation, a large educational Charity under the Charities Commission.

Wen-Jer Chang received the M.S. degree from the Institute of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering from the National Central University in 1990 and the Ph.

From 2018 to 2023, he was a member of the council of the Taiwan Fuzzy Systems Association (TFSA). Since 2021, he has been the Chairman of the Association of Marine Affairs. From 2021 to 2023, he was a member of the council of the International Association of Electrical, Electronic, and Energy Engineering (IAEEEE). In 2022, he was elected to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. From 2021 to 2025, he is listed in the “World's Top 2% Scientists”, according to Stanford University. Dr. Chang has authored more than 170 published journal papers and 140 refereed conference papers. His recent research interests are intelligent control, fuzzy control, robust control, marine engineering, and smart shipping.

Panagiotis Vlamos is a Full Professor, Member of the Governance Board of the Ionian University and Scientific Director of the Bioinformatics and Human Electrophysiology Laboratory (BiHELab) at the Ionian University. He has authored more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings as well as 16 educational books. The topics of his papers are Mathematical Modelling, Applied and Discrete Mathematics as well as Bioinformatics. His main research interest ισ to help bridge the translational gap from data to models and from models to drug discovery and personalized therapy by developing quantitative deterministic approaches to biological and clinical problems by utilizing high-performance computing. He is the founder of the series of the World Congresses GeNeDis (“Genetics, Geriatrics and Neurodegenerative Diseases Research”), organized every two years starting from 2014. He also founded the Master’s Program “Bioinformatics & Neuroinformatics” and is the editor of the Handbook of Computational Neurodegeneration that will be published by Springer International Publishing.
