Professor Yang-Hui He is a Fellow of the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences, housed in the Michael Faraday suites in the Royal Institute of Great Britain; professor of mathematics at City, University of London; Tutor in mathematics at Merton College, University of Oxford; and Chang-Jiang Chair of physics at Nankai University. He works at the interface of string theory, algebraic and combinatorial geometry, and was one of the pioneers in introducing machine learning to theoretical physics and pure mathematics. 

Professor Mo-Lin Ge is a professor at the Chern Institute of Mathematics, Nankai University, China. He is also an Academician of Chinese Academy of Science. He has a long and distinguished career in the field of theoretical physics since the 1960s and has made many contributions to mathematical physics.

Professor Chengming Bai is a professor and current director at the Chern Institute of Mathematics, Nankai University, China.  He has been interested in the study of certain algebraic systems which are related to mathematical physics and Lie theory, and their applications.

Jiakang Bao is a PhD student at City, University of London under the supervision of Prof. Y.-H. He, and a visiting researcher at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences. His current research interests lie primarily in quiver gauge theories and BPS algebras, in the interface between theoretical physics, algebraic geometry and number theory.

Edward Hirst is a Doctoral researcher at City, University of London with Professor Y.-H He and a visiting researcher at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences. He examines mathematical objects within theoretical physics, focusing on those related to string and gauge theories as well as the related algebraic geometry, in particular Calabi-Yau manifolds. His current work centres on applications of a variety of techniques from machine learning to databases ofthese objects, with the aim of uncovering interesting phenomena and interrelations. He will start his postdoctoral fellowship at Queen Mary, University of London.
