JOHANNES DELLERT completed M.A. and B.A. degrees in the International Studies in Computational Linguistics program at the University of Tübingen. In parallel, he acquired a Diplom (M.S.) degree in computer science at the Department of Computer Science in Tübingen, with a minor in mathematics. His research focus is on the application of causal inference methods to problems of historical linguistics. He is particularly interested in the Uralic language family.

MARISA KOELLNER finished her B.A. and M.A. degrees in Generel Linguistics at the Department of Linguistics in Tübingen. In parallel, she studied Computational Linguistics in the International MA programme of the University of Tübingen. Her research focuses on phenomena and evolutionary events during language history and language change. For her current research, she adapts and implements phylogenetic methods for linguistics to detect evolutionary events during language evolution.

JOHANNES WAHLE studied General Linguistics both in the Bachelors and Masters program at the University of Tübingen. His current research interests are in the field of historical linguistics and how to apply Hidden Markov Models and their derivatives to alignment and reconstruction problems in historical linguistics.

IGOR YANOVICH received a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with specialization in formal semantics. Working within EVOLAEMP in the winter semester of 2014, Igor developed a new technique of "dictionary correction" for lexical data criticism that estimates the robustness of computational phylogeny reconstruction to inaccuracies specific to linguistic datasets. His larger interests concerning the project involve phylogeny reconstruction algorithms that take as input richer linguistic representations than the state-of-the-art ones, thus increasing the accuracy of automatic identification of language relationships. Currently Igor pursues a project on mining semantic information about highly functional words (e.g., modals, indefinite pronouns or determiners) from small-size corpora, supported by the Alexander von Humboldt foundation.

ROLAND MÜHLENBERND is post doctorand in general linguistics and researcher and lecturer at the University of Tübingen. He has a bachelor degree in computer science, a master degree in interdisciplinary media science and a Ph.D. degree in general linguistics. His research interests particularly embrace 'pragmatics', 'language evolution' and 'language change', whereby a main objective is to model and analyze diachronic processes by applying formal models and mathematical methods, like decision/game theory and network theory.
