Ann Copestake has been engaged in research in computational linguistics since 1985, and has worked on a range of projects involving natural languages interfaces, lexical acquisition and representation, and machine translation. Recently she has been collaborating with the English Resource Grammar group at CSLI on building a broad-coverage computational grammar for English, and with the Archimedes group on implementing a word predictor and other language generation aids for speech prostheses. Greg Edwards is leading the design and development effort for the eye-tracking communication tool. A graduate of Stanford's Symbolic Systems Program with a concentration in HCI, Greg has been working on various projects, such as developing the Total Access Port (TAP) micro-controllers to enable transparent control of multiple platforms, a speech-recognition application which works with the TAP, a communication tool based on radial/pie menus, and the "Jerry Communicator" projects.

Elizabeth Macken is the Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) and Leader of the Archimedes Project. She is developing a model of American Sign Language as a heterogeneous system of communication, and is applying the model to communication aids in other modalities. She has also worked extensively in the field of computer-aided instruction, focusing on evaluation methods for instructional strategies whose aim is to individualize instruction, thereby deliberately spreading levels of accomplishment.

Neil Scott, Chief Engineer for the Archimedes Project, has been designing and implementing special computer access systems for individuals with disabilities since 1977. During the past five years, he has focussed much attention on making speech recognition a truly practical alternative to the keyboard and mouse. He is the inventor of the "Total Access System" which enables disabled individuals to easily access any computer.
