**Miguel Aguado**
Postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany. Works on topological order and topological ideas in quantum information.

** Thomas Barthel **
i'm interested in strongly correlated quantum systems (phases, dynamics, scaling of entanglement) and work on numerical techniques like DMRG and tensor network states.

** Sylvain Capponi **
is professor at Toulouse University, interested in strongly correlated systems, quantum magnetism, spin liquids, cold atoms, and computational techniques.

**Claudia De Grandi**
graduate student at Boston University, now KITP fellow at UCSB for the fall semester Research: dynamics in strongly correlated systems, cold atoms, one-dimensional systems

Sarang Gopalakrishnan
grad student at UIUC; KITP fellow. Interested in: non-equilibrium phenomena, quantum criticality, disordered systems, and glassiness, especially in the ultracold-atomic setting.

Kenji [|Harada]
I'm an assistant professor at Kyoto University and I'm interested in strongly correlated quantum systems (exotic quantum phase, phase transition) and computational approaches for them (in particular, loop algorithm and MERA).

Masaki Oshikawa
is a Professor at Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo. Interested in entanglement entropy/spectrum, topological order, one-dimensional systems and conformal field theory, etc.

Marcos Rigol
is an assistant professor at Georgetown University interested in many-body correlated systems in and out of equilibrium and unbiased computational approaches.

Simon Trebst
is a member of Station Q whose interests are in topological order, frustrated magnetism, and computational approaches.

Christopher [|Varney]
is a postdoc at Georgetown University / University of Maryland interested in strongly correlated systems, topological order, ultracold atoms, and computational methods.
