Laura Weihl is a PhD candidate at the IT University of Copenhagen working on reliable AI for underwater robotics, where she focuses on adapting cutting-edge computer vision techniques for underwater environments. Her research sits at the intersection of AI reliability and marine technology, tackling the unique challenges that underwater conditions present for computer vision systems. Beyond the lab, she is passionate about making academia more inclusive and accessible - she leads a working group at Eurodoc on Doctoral Supervision, where they recently developed a statement on doctoral supervision standards across the EU. When she's not diving deep into code or policy work, you can find her by the piano or singing with her choir. She's driven by the belief that we can build both better technology and better academic environments for the researchers who come after us.

Nanna Inie is a human-computer interaction researcher with specializations in cognition & computation, computing education, and AI safety. She uses mixed-method designs to study how humans use technology to extend their cognitive abilities, evaluate how technology affects human cognition in return, and to transform findings into the design of novel cognitive augmentation technologies. Her current research agenda explores the cognitive cost of generative AI, focusing on the adverse impact and long-term risks of outsourcing cognitively complex tasks to generative AI in knowledge-intensive and creative work.
