	Azadeh Alimadad Ms. Alimadad completed her B.Sc. in Mathematics in Iran and holds an M.Sc. in Biostatistics from Carleton University. She has started Ph.D. studies in health modelling at SFU. She is interested in applying epidemiological compartmental models to problems both in epidemiology and other fields. Email: aalimada@irmacs.sfu.ca
	Afsaneh Bakhtiari Ms. Bakhtiari holds a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from Iran. She is a M.Sc. candidate in Mathematics at SFU. She has experience in developing queueing theory models and is working on the Surgical Wait List Project. Email: afsanehb@irmacs.sfu.ca
	Pouya Bastani Mr. Bastani is an M.Sc. candidate in Applied Mathematics at SFU. He is interested in using partial differential equation techniques to study queueing networks in the diffusion limit. He is working on the Acute Care Project. Email: pouyabastani@gmail.com
	Vahid Dabbaghian Dr. Vahid Dabbaghian received his Ph.D. from Carleton University in Computational Algebra. His research interests include Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Modelling. Prior to joining the CSMG he held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Calgary and SFU. In 2005, he joined the CSMG as a project leader for the Criminal Justice Systems projects. He has lead many successful projects in modelling, one of which is featured in the book Artificial Crime Analysis Systems: Using Computer Simulations and Geographic Information Systems.

	Ellen Fowler Ms. Fowler holds an M.Sc. in Operations Research from the University of British Columbia and a B.Sc. in Economics from SFU. In addition to her research position at the IRMACS Centre, she is a lecturer at the Business Schools of both alma maters and acts as an OR consultant. Her main interests lie in mathematical programming and optimization. She is presently exploring a venture to commercialize a mathematical model to optimize the trading of natural gas to and from restricted storage facilities. Email: efowler@sfu.ca
	Warren Hare Dr. Hare received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Optimization from SFU. Following this he has been a post-doctorial fellow at IMPA - Brazil and at McMaster University. He returned to SFU to join the CSMG team. His research focuses on Modelling and Optimization with Applications to Healthcare. In addition to working with the CSMG, he is also the Program Director of the The Modelling of Complex Social Systems (MoCSSy) Research and Training Program. Email: whare@irmacs.sfu.ca
