Maren Schüle

Maren is a electrics technician in her first year of the TTE-experience at CERN. Before coming to CERN, she finished her apprenticeship as an Electronics technician for industrial engineering in the field of plant construction in Germany. While still being an apprentice, she discovered the world of FabLabs and so she was able to get her first experiences with technical-oriented collabs outside of work. Taking part in Hackathons is the logical continuation of this adventure.

Mishka Zala Saleem

Mishka is an undergraduate Electrical Engineering student from Pakistan. She is an avid learner, who is constantly looking for opportunities to learn and grow. Her goal is to tackle social issues using technology - specially in marginalized communities. Along side her degree, she works as a technical apprentice sharpening her skill set to become a better engineer. She is an active part of technical and social communities in her University. Aside from her technical goals, she loves exploring different cultures, learning languages and painting in her free time.

Ryan Li Hong Liew

Li Hong graduated from University of Cambridge, with a Master degree in Information and Computer Engineering, was selected to the CERN openlab Summer Student Programme 2020. He is passionate about data analytics, machine learning and scalable technology, particularly about their application to the healthcare, education or agriculture industry. He is actively seeking experience in solving social challenges using technology. He loves to bring people together and has led multiple student organisations and worked in 4 countries. In his free time, he enjoys exercising, reading and adventuring in the nature.

Stuart Kennaugh

Stuart has been involved in the digital industry since 1999 in a variety of roles from sales and consultancy to development and team leadership. Most recently he headed up the digital team for a county government authority in the UK. This was followed by the running the digital team for the British Red Cross where he has recently move to the Technology Innovation team to investigate under-utilised and ermerging technology, and to promote future systems thinking. A strong advocate of many years for user-centric and evidence-driven action he has long believed in the ability of digital technologies and approaches to produce positive change for individuals and organisations. He lives in Kent in the UK with his wife, 2 kids, 2 cats, 1 dog and 8 bantam chickens. He bought a drum kit and is hoping to make time to learn to play them sometime.
