Ramakrishna (Dinesh) Somanah is Director of Universite des Mascareignes. He is one of the three pioneers of professional astronomy in Mauritius (together with Dr Nalini Issur and Dr Kumar Golap who is now working for the VLA, NRAO). He is fully involved with the design, construction and research at the Mauritius Radio Telescope (MRT) project since 1989. MRT is one of the biggest scientific research projects at the University of Mauritius. The main aim of the project was to produce a map of the southern sky at 151.5 MHz (unique in the world), perform astrophysical interpretation of the map, develop new algorithms and software etc. He has been involved with the supervision of the civil, mechanical, electrical and electronics work. Because of its immensity, it took nearly 5 years (1989–1993) to build. He was also part of the team which developed the software to convert the raw data into deconvolved radio images, and astrophysical interpretation of the latter. He has many publications in reputed journals.

Xin-She Yang obtained his DPhil in Applied Mathematics from the University of Oxford. He then worked at Cambridge University and National Physical Laboratory (UK) as a Senior Research Scientist. Now he is Reader in Modelling and Optimization at Middlesex University, an elected Bye-Fellow at Cambridge University and Adjunct Professor at Reykjavik University (Iceland). He is the chair of the IEEE CIS Task Force on Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management. He is on the list of both 2016 and 2017 Clarivate Analytics/Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers.
