Adam
Riess is an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University and the Space
Telescope Science Institute. Riess shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in
2011 for providing evidence that the expansion of the Universe is
accelerating. More recently, he has also been awarded the Breakthrough
Prize in Fundamental Physics, adding to his many awards and prizes over
the years.

Lucie Green is a space scientist based at UCL’s
Department of Space and Climate Physics. She studies the atmosphere of
the Sun, particularly the immense magnetic fields which sporadically
erupt into the Solar System. She is also actively involved in public
engagement with science, regularly giving public talks and presenting TV
and radio programmes.

Risa Wechsler is an astrophysicist and a
professor at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology
at Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Wechsler's work combines massive cosmological simulations with large
galaxy surveys that are mapping the Universe, to study the nature of
dark energy, dark matter, and the formation of galaxies. She is
currently leading the science collaboration of the Dark Energy
Spectroscopic Instrument, which will make a 3D map of 30 million
galaxies to elucidate the structure of the Universe.

Dr. Renée
Hlozek is the Lyman Spitzer Jr. Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical
Astrophysics in at Princeton University; the Spitzer-Cotsen Fellow in
the Princeton Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts and is currently a
Senior TED Fellow. In 2011, she received her DPhil in Astrophysics from
Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar from the class of
South-Africa-at-Large and Christ Church, 2008. Her research focuses on
theoretical cosmology; as a member of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
she measures the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation to decipher the
initial conditions of the universe.
