Victoria Stodden
Victoria Stodden is assistant professor of Statistics at Columbia University and serves as a member of the National Science Foundation's
Advisory Committee on CyberInfrastructure. She is one of the creators of SparseLab, a collaborative platform for reproducible computational research and has developed a new licensing structure for computational research, called the Reproducible Research Standard. She is currently working on the NSF-funded project: "Policy Design for Reproducibility and Data Sharing in Computational Science."
Heather is a postdoc research associate, funded by the NSF-funded DataONE cyberinfrastructure project. She is working with the Dryad team at NESCent, studying data sharing and reuse behaviour. She works remotely from Vancouver, Canada, with a home base in the Biodiversity building in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia.
Her research focuses on studying the patterns, prevalence and impact of data sharing and reuse behaviour of “small science” post-publication datasets

Natasa Milic-Frayling
As a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge (MSRC), Natasa Milic-Frayling is setting research directions for the Integrated Systems Group, focussing on new paradigms for digital content management and analysis, communication, and social interaction.
Through interdisciplinary research, her team brings to bear expertise from information retrieval, machine learning, network analysis, human computer interaction, and design principles to explore fundamental concepts and new approaches to
- Management, sharing, and making sense of digital information
- Analysing large networks, social media, and interaction in online communities
- Cross-platform computing and support for a coherent user experience across mobile, desktop, web, and cloud environment.
In her Principal Researcher role, Natasa fosters collaboration across Microsoft teams and Microsoft external partners. From 2008 to 2010 she served as Director of the Research Partnership Programme and connected MS Research with leading industry organizations to collaborate on strategic problems. She led MS Research participation in the EU project PLANETS (2006-2010), focussed on the long term preservation of digital content, and collaborated with the CFMS (2007-2010) partners in the aerospace industry to explore the use of technologies in the engineering design to capture and disseminate knowledge and best practices.
