Kirsten C. Uszkalo is the principal investigator on this project, and will be responsible both for carrying out the initial investigations using the semi-supervised clustering techniques on the witchcraft trial collection, and also for co-ordinating the work of the team on developing the prototype. Uszkalo is currently a Visting Assistant Professor and Post Doctoral Fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) and is affiliated with the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, the Illinois Informatics Institute, and the Department of History. Uszkalo is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Simon Fraser University at Burnaby. Uszkalo has a wide range of experience in working on collaborative research projects. She has served on the Executive board of the Medieval and Early Modern England (MEME) project. She is lead researcher on the Witches in Early Modern England (WEME) project. Her work has served as one of four central use cases in the Metadata Open New Knowledge (MONK) project, which also includes Ruecker and Radzikowska. She has worked and published with Ruecker on the subject of the design of the electronic book

Stan Ruecker is a co-applicant, and will assist in managing the technical work on applying open-source text mining tools to this corpus, and will contribute to the design of the experimental interfaces. Ruecker was principal investigator of the SSHRC Standard Research Grant entitled "Humanities Visualization," which produced four experimental designs intended to extend the affordances of digital text for use by literary scholars. He was also a co-applicant on the MONK project, and led the team responsible for the design of the MONK workbench. Ruecker is currently an Associate Professor in the MA in Humanities Computing Program and the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta.

Milena Radzikowska is a co-applicant. She will work primarily on the design of the experimental interfaces. She has research experience on a variety of interdisciplinary teams, including the MONK project, where she was the principal contributor to the design of the workbench. Radzikowska's most recent project was a GIS-based interface experiment carried out in collaboration with Parks Canada, intended to allow park users (such as schools organizing trips) to plan their activities with respect to proper parks management practices, including efficiency and safety (Radzikowska et al. forthcoming). Radzikowska is a tenured faculty member at Mount Royal College in Calgary, in the Center for Communication Studies and is currently working on her PhD at the University of Alberta.
