 | RUSS GREINER
received his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford, worked first in academia then in industrial research. Dr. Greiner now works at the University of Alberta, where he is a Professor in Computing Science, and the founding Director of the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning (AICML), a multi-year multi-million dollar research institute supported by the Alberta Ingenuity Fund. He is one of the founders of Chenomx Inc, and serves as the Chief Information Officer of PolyomX, Inc. He has received three recent patents and has over 90 refereed papers. Most of these are in the areas of machine learning and knowledge representation, especially probabilistic models such as Bayesian belief nets. Dr. Greiner will be involved in developing improved classification software for both the handheld CE-IMS instrument and the clinical NMR instruments, and in developing robust algorithms for rapid spectral/disease classification.

 | LIANG LI is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Alberta, and Director of the Alberta Cancer Board Proteomics Resource Facility. His research is in the area of analytical mass spectrometry. Since 1987, he has published 95 referred papers and given over 90 invited talks. He holds one US patent on time-of-flight mass spectrometric technology, and has filed one US patent on HPLC/MALDI. Dr. Li has won several awards including the McBryde Medal (2001) from the Canadian Society for Chemistry, the Young Explorers Prize (2002) from the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIAR), which was given to Canada's top twenty researchers aged forty or under in science and engineering, and the Rutherford Memorial Medal (2003) from the Royal Society of Canada. He will be responsible for technical and method development and applications of mass spectrometry (hand-held MS and FT-ICR) for metabolome analysis.

 | HANS VOGEL is a Professor of Biochemistry and AHFMR Scientist in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary. He is also the director of the Calgary Bio-NMR centre which houses numerous high field NMR instruments. Dr. Vogel's interests are in biomolecular NMR and the development of new NMR methods for characterizing biomolecules. After completing his PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Alberta in 1981 and studying in Sweden for 4 years, Dr. Vogel returned to Canada in 1985 to take up a position at the University of Calgary. Dr. Vogel has published more than 260 papers and book chapters covering a wide range of areas including biomolecular NMR, phosphorus NMR, and plant metabolism. He has won numerous awards including the Merck-Frosst Award (1994) from the Canadian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Dr. Vogel will be involved in the metabolome characterization studies, NMR field dependency studies and in integrating MS and NMR data to improve the complementation between these technologies.
