University Lecturer in Papyrology and Greek Literature and Fellow and Tutor in Greek at Christ Church College, University of Oxford. A career papyrologist, who has specialized both in the editing of texts and the display and utilization of them in online and database forms, he is currently collaborating with the Department of Astrophysics to apply crowd-source data-gathering to the large body of unpublished and unaccessible texts in Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Egyptian.

Research Associate of Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford, and Postdoctoral Researcher in Papyrology for the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois, and the Oxyrhynchus Papyri Project at the University of Oxford. His research is focused on Greek literature, papyrology, and ancient comedy.

Research Associate and Postdoctoral Researcher on the ‘Imaging Papyri’ and ‘Ancient Lives’ projects at the University of Oxford. He specializes in data management of digital texts in foreign character sets and optical recognition software.

Associate Professor of Classical Studies, University of Minnesota. My research interests include the ancient book as artefactual object, Hellenistic and Latin poetry.

Post-doctoral Associate in Papyrology, University of Minnesota. I have an expertise in Greek Literary Papyrology. My main research interest lies in Greek hexameter texts, and Hellenistic poetry.

Associate Professor in Early Christian Studies, University of Minnesota. My areas of research are the history of religions in Greek and Roman antiquity, and the language and literature of Egyptian Christianity in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages.

Chris is a researcher at the University of Oxford, where he leads the Zooniverse project of which Ancient Lives forms part. When not transcribing papyri, he can be found worrying about how the galaxies we see in the local Universe came to be here.

Director of Citizen Science at the Adler Planetarium, Chicago and technical lead of the Zooniverse. With a degree in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield and a PhD in Astrochemistry from The University of Nottingham he used to know lots about the chemistry; these days he'd rather be thinking about software than interstellar dust.

RS profile

Michael is a software developer at Adler Planetarium in Chicago. While normally found developing the Zooniverse back-end, he occasionally finds time to contribute to open source software.

Associate Professor in Physics, University of Minnesota. I'm leading the UMN team on Ancient Lives to develop the algorithms that will turn your clicks into consensus transcriptions. In my spare time, I'm an experimental gamma-ray astronomer with an eye towards understanding active galactic nuclei.

Program Director, Research Informatics Support Systems, Supercomputing Institute, University of Minnesota. My interest is in applied interdisciplinary informatics. Through the RISS program, informatics analysts work with investigators to develop analytical and computational solutions and tools that support the researchers' needs.

Scientific Computing Consultant, Supercomputing Insitute, University of Minnesota. I use my background in mathematics, statistics, and data mining to help a wide variety of investigators to analyze their data.
