Riya Manas Sharma is a medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in Dublin, where she maintains first-class honors. She is a biosecurity policy researcher whose work focuses on biological weapons governance, dual-use research of concern (DURC), and transparency mechanisms under the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). She received funding from the Cambridge Existential Risks Initiative (CERI) to attend BWC Working Group meetings in Geneva and to conduct research that led to her 2025 publication in The Nonproliferation Review, co-authoring "Gaps in transparency: understanding limited participation in confidence-building measures under the Biological Weapons Convention." She also co-authored a paper in Applied Biosafety on DURC policy governance in the US and Canada. Sharma is involved with the Oxford Biosecurity Group and has served as a facilitator for the Non-trivial Fellowship, mentoring student researchers on biosecurity projects. She previously founded Biology for Better, a fiscally sponsored 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to STEM education equity, which she led from Dubai from 2020 to 2022.

Alfred Harwood is a researcher working at the intersection of agent foundations and AI safety, based in the UK. He studied Natural Sciences before completing a PhD in physics at University College London, where his thesis focused on coherent and measurement-based feedback in quantum mechanics. In January 2024 he attended AI Safety Camp, which sparked his interest in agent foundations research. He subsequently received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to research geometric rationality, ergodicity economics, and their applications to decision theory and AI, and published philosophical work on geometric averaging in consequentialist ethics. He is a co-leader of the Dovetail Research Fellowship alongside Alex Altair, an agent foundations research program funded by ARIA, where he mentors fellows working on mathematical AI safety. On LessWrong and the Alignment Forum he has written on the Good Regulator Theorem, the Internal Model Principle, and related selection-theorem topics in agent foundations.

Axel Højmark is an AI safety researcher and Member of Technical Staff at Apollo Research, where he works on evaluations for AI scheming and deception. He studied Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen (DIKU), where his bachelor's thesis on AI-generated social media content was accepted at the 2023 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). He subsequently participated in the MATS Summer 2024 cohort, researching improved methods for evaluating capabilities of LM agents and agent scaling laws under the mentorship of Jérémy Scheurer and Marius Hobbhahn from Apollo Research. His key publications include "Forecasting Frontier Language Model Agent Capabilities" (2025), which evaluated six forecasting methods for predicting downstream LLM agent performance, and "Stress Testing Deliberative Alignment for Anti-Scheming Training" (2025), a collaboration with OpenAI examining mitigations for covert AI misbehavior. He has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund to support his research on agent scaling laws and the relationships between training compute and agent capabilities.
