Ggaliwango Marvin is a Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems Engineer whose core works focus on Autonomous Systems and Responsible Software Systems. He is an AI Researcher, Principal Investigator and Technical Lead of various studies focused on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Quantum Computing, and Digital Education at Makerere University. He is a PhD Research Exchange fellow at Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering (University of Washington), holds an MSc in Digital Education (The University of Edinburgh), MSc in Computer Science and Engineering (BRAC University) and BSc (Hons) in Computer Science.

Rovincer Najjuma is a Lecturer in Digital Education and the Global South. She works in digital education in development contexts in collaboration with INGOs and universities. Her research focuses on educational mobility with and without digital technology, particularly for forcibly displaced populations; and for using appropriate technology for teacher training. Towards this end, she works on a series of refugee education projects throughout Uganda.

Nakayiza Hellen Raudha is a Ph.D. candidate in Information Technology at Makerere University and a Lecturer in Computer and Information Science at Muni University, Uganda. Her research focuses on intelligent distributed systems engineering, auditing and quality assurance, particularly the design of technical frameworks for evaluating algorithmic fairness, accountability, transparency, and compliance in distributed AI-based decision-making systems.

Dr. Michael Gallagher is a Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at Edinburgh University. His PhD in Education from University College London focuses on educational technology, adaptive learning, and inclusive digital education. His critical analysis of adaptive learning systems and educational technologies in development contexts focuses on equity, mobility, and resilience for marginalized learners.

Owor Wilbroad is a Cloud and MLOps Engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Computing from Kyambogo University and a MSc in Computer Science of Makerere University. He has a strong academic and technical background in artificial intelligence, NLP, Data Science, ML, and Computer Vision. He integrated scalable cloud infrastructures with end-to-end machine learning pipelines for research and production in several AI-driven projects. Owor deploys and automates ML workflows using Docker, Kubernetes, TensorFlow Serving, and CI/CD frameworks for model lifecycle management, reproducibility and performance. Training and deploying transformer-based NLP models, building real-time computer vision pipelines, and developing low-resource cloud-native solutions are among his recent projects. He loves using machine learning for social good and bridging research and industry with scalable, cloud-based AI systems.
