Beatrice Vincenzi (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in the HCI Research Centre at Birmingham City University (UK). Her research focuses on inclusivity, accessibility, and designing technology with people with disabilities. She draws from critical disability studies, feminist theories, and her lived experience as a person with a chronic illness to re-think the role of technology in shaping social relationships, interactions, access, and inclusion. She employs first-person, research-through-design, and participatory approaches (e.g., co-design, soma design, interviews, and (auto)ethnographic), often combined with prototyping.

Nadia Campo Woytuk (she/they) is a PhD student in Interaction Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, exploring critical feminist design of technologies for the intimate body and the social and environmental ecologies it entangles. She uses Research through Design methods, including making with textiles and biomaterials, as well as participatory and speculative approaches. Nadia has expertise in organizing workshops, especially on intimate and sensitive topics. Previously, Nadia has co-organized workshops at C&C'22, CHI'23, TEI'24, and DIS'24.

Alejandra Gómez Ortega (she/her) is a Digital Futures Postdoctoral Fellow at Stockholm University, Sweden. Her research applies critical and feminist perspectives to investigate how we interact with and encounter our data and their algorithmic derivatives through design. Alejandra has experience co-organizing creative sessions, workshops, and Special-Interest Groups on sensitive and intimate topics and data as a design material.

Kim Sauvé (she/her) is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol, United Kingdom. Her research blends empirical studies with explorative design practice to investigate how physical representations of data can enhance engagement, decision-making, and behavior change. She focuses on creating interactive systems that make complex data more accessible and meaningful through tangible interfaces (such as LOOP). She has co-organized multiple workshops on data physicalization, exploring its applications in various domains promoting sustainable methods and toolkits, and addressing contemporary challenges in the field.

Laura Forlano (she/her), a Fulbright award-winning and National Science Foundation funded scholar, is a disabled writer, social scientist and design researcher. She is Professor in the College of Arts, Media, and Design at Northeastern University. She is the author of Cyborg with Danya Glabau and an editor of three books: Bauhaus Futures (MIT Press 2019), digitalSTS (Princeton University Press 2019) and From Social Butterfly to Engaged Citizen (MIT Press 2011). She received her Ph.D. in communications from Columbia University.

Derya Akbaba (she/her) is a PhD student in Data Visualization at Linköping University in Norrköping, Sweden, whose work brings feminist epistemologies and methods to visualization research. Through this feminist lens, she explores overlooked, ignored, or unquestioned assumptions within information visualization. Her current research has focused on bringing critical data studies practices to community spaces through data crafting and physicalization workshops.

Edda Forero (she/her) is a researcher at Fundación Karisma (Digital Rights NGO) and cultural anthropologist with a background in collective and digital rights research and in structuring open data information systems. She has experience in pedagogical strategies to generate links between information, data, and territory through data literacy workshops.

Samuel Thulin (he/him) is an artist and researcher interested in the specificities of spaces and places, and in the movements and resonances of bodies, data, and sounds. Through his artworks and publications he has explored: locative media and contested senses of place; cartography and auditory culture; self-tracking, chronic illness, and datafication; and creative and emergent research methodologies. Working with his own diabetic data, he has created sonic, visual, and vibrotactile data artwork and has invited other diabetics to experiment with diabetic data art. Based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, Thulin is a Research Associate and Administrative Coordinator at Aging + Communication + Technologies (ACT) Lab at Concordia University.

Pedro Sanches (he/him) is an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics, at Umeå University. His research draws on feminist epistemologies to design biodata-driven and AI-based technologies for health and wellbeing, as well as performing arts. He applies speculative and somaesthetic design tactics to consider situated lived experiences when crafting with data as a material.

Kit Kuksenok (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist and coder based in Berlin. Through research and teaching collaborations, their mission is to expand the collective imagination of technology's role in how we understand and imagine the human body. Their work has explored both critical and curious perspectives on the sociotechnical aspects of body knowledge, particularly through expressive and abstract representations of body data.
