Marten has led the development of the Lingua Franca coordination language since its inception in late 2019. He received a B.S. degree in computer science (2009), a M.S. in grid computing (2013), both from the University of Amsterdam, and holds a PhD in computer science (2020) from UC Berkeley. His dissertation titled “Reactors: A Deterministic Model of Concurrent Computation for Reactive Systems” laid the groundwork for the Lingua Franca coordination language.

Christian recently obtained his PhD from TU Dresden in Germany and has been contributing to the Lingua Franca project since its early stages. He is an experienced compiler and embedded systems engineer with a strong focus on clean abstractions.

Jeff C. Jensen is a technology leader and electrical engineer with 20 years experience developing hardware & software products. He ran product innovation in mechatronics at National Instruments, then served as VP Engineering at the robotics startup Creator, building the world's first fully automated commercial kitchen. As CTO at Blackrock Neurotech he led technology vision, strategy and execution of a team of over 100 scientists, engineers and technicians building the world's only in-human implantable brain-computer interfaces. He is Head of Engineering at Xronos.

Edward A. Lee has been working on embedded software systems for more than 40 years. After studying and working at Yale, MIT, and Bell Labs, he landed at Berkeley, where he is now Professor of the Graduate School in EECS. His research is focused on cyber-physical systems. He is a founder of the open-source software projects Lingua Franca and Ptolemy and is a coauthor of textbooks on embedded systems, signals and systems, digital communications, and philosophical and social implications of technology.

Jeronimo is a professor with the Department of Computer Science, TU Dresden, where he is also affiliated with the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (CfAED). He is the head of the Chair for Compiler Construction, with research focus on methodologies, languages, tools and algorithms for programming complex computing systems. In 2014, he co-founded Silexica GmbH/Inc, a company that provides programming tools for embedded multicore architectures now with Xilinx/AMD. Prior to that, he obtained degrees from Pontificia Bolivariana University, Colombia, the ALaRI Institute, Switzerland, and RWTH Aachen University, Germany.
