Current

• Andrei Voronkov is the original developer of Vampire, beginning work in 1990 (see History). He was awarded the Herbrand Award in 2015 for numerous theoretical and practical contributions to automated deduction, and the development of the award-winning Vampire theorem prover. He is also founder of the EasyChair conference management system and LPAR conference series.
• Laura Kovács joined the Vampire team in 2009 and began a large collaborative effort in applying Vampire to program analysis.
• Giles Reger joined the Vampire team in 2014. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Manchester and leads the group there with Andrei.
• Martin Suda joined the Vampire team in 2014. He is currently a PostDoc at Josef Urban's group in Prague. Previously, he worked with Laura's group in TU Wien and before with Andrei in Manchester.
• Ahmed Bhayat completed a PhD on the topic of automated higher-order reasoning supervised by Andrei and Giles. He currently holds a postdoctoral position on the ScorCH project. His interests include induction in saturation, program verification, and higher-order reasoning.
• Johannes Schoisswohl is working on theory reasoning in Vampire since March 2020. Started as a research assistant in Manchester in 2020, in co-supervision by Giles, and Andrei in Manchester. PhD student in Vienna since November 2022, being supervised by Laura, still working closely with Giles, and Andrei.
• Jakob Rath joined the Vampire team in 2019. He is currently a PhD student at TU Wien, and is supervised by Laura.
• Petra Hozzová joined the Vampire team in 2019. She is currently a PhD student at TU Wien, working on inductive reasoning in Vampire. She is supervised by Laura and co-supervised by Andrei.
• Márton Hajdu joined the Vampire team in 2020. He is currently a PhD student at TU Wien supervised by Laura, working on inductive reasoning in Vampire.
• Michael Rawson joined the team in Manchester from 2017. He is interested in machine learning applied to automated reasoning, but can be distracted by many other topics. From 2021 he has a postdoctoral position with Laura's group in Vienna.

Past

• Alexandre Riazanov wrote the second incarnation of Vampire together with Andrei, starting 1998 - see History.
• Kryštof Hoder wrote the third incarnation of Vampire together with Andrei, starting 2008 - see History.
• Evgenii Kotelnikov joined the Vampire team in 2013. He completed his PhD studies at Chalmers in 2018, supervised by Laura and Andrei.
