Roger J. Brown is the President of IMOJIM, Inc., one of the oldest commercial investment firms in San Diego, which is now completing its fifth decade. His experience includes numerous consulting and expert witness assignments, and ownership or origination of loans on various properties in seven states of the US. He obtained his PhD in Finance from Pennsylvania State University in 2000, writing his dissertation on Levy-stable (non-normal, and heavy-tailed) return distributions. He is the author of Private Real Estate Investment, published by Academic Press, which is now in its second edition.

Wenjun Deng is a Computational Physicist at Princeton University and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. He obtained his BS from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2006, and his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Irvine in 2012. His research interests include modeling and simulations of fusion plasmas and laser-excited high-energy-density plasmas. To comprehensively understand these complex plasmas, which are composed of a huge number of electrically charged ions and electrons as well as electromagnetic fields, is one of the most difficult challenges in human history. To advance the frontier of this field, he works with his collaborators to develop, debug, optimize, and run large-scale simulations on world-leading high-performance computing facilities. By carefully analyzing and visualizing the simulation data, he is able to dig out the underlying physical principles and thus able to predict and optimize the behaviors of these plasmas in experiments.

Kristjan Kannike is a Theoretical Particle Physicist at the National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics in Estonia. He uses Mathematica daily to simulate and visualize models of high-energy physics.
