Detailed Table of Participants

“Project prototype phase” in the column for Academic Year indicates participation in one or more years from 2013 to 2017 prior to WE1S’s Mellon Foundation grant beginning in 2017-2018. The Research Team column includes only teams formed in after 2019-2020, and not various teams earlier in the project. Additional technical or utility teams on which researchers simultaneously served are also not included.

The following is a searchable and sortable table of our research participants, with detailed information about their roles in particular academic years, summer research camps, and research teams. (Status and institution designations are those at the time of a participant’s role in the project.)

See also “Our Team” page with a simpler list of our participants grouped by institution and role. (Also see our Advisory Board.)
