Semiplenary speakers

In addition to plenary speakers in the mornings, each workshop will field three semiplenary speakers, one every afternoon. Each semiplenary speaker will be given a longer slot and the main idea is that the semiplenary talks should be accessible to wider audience. The list of semiplenary speakers is incomplete and will be updated periodically:
