We are powered by a global network of contributors from civil society, academia, and industry. From the individuals who run measurements to the partners who provide infrastructure and and financial support, this distributed community enables M-Lab to operate and grow.

Meet the Team
At the core of M-Lab is a multidisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, designers, and advocates who build and maintain the platform, develop tools, and support a growing ecosystem of research and collaboration.
This work is shaped and sustained by several interconnected groups:
- Maintainers ensure the platform remains reliable, open, and continuously evolving. This includes technical and programmatic work such as; managing the platform infrastructure, providing data analysis and insights, delivering impact-driven programs, and .fostering the M-Lab community.
- The Experiment Review Committee evaluates and supports new measurement tools and methodologies, helping maintain the integrity and scientific rigor of the platform.
- The Advisory Committee provides strategic guidance, drawing on expertise across Internet measurement, policy, and public interest technology.
- M-Lab Founders established the vision for an open, transparent measurement ecosystem and continue to inform its direction.
- Contributor Partners contribute time, expertise, experiments and/or financial resources, enabling M-Lab’s work to expand and reach new communities.
- Alumni are former contributors whose work has helped shape M-Lab and continues to influence its evolution.
Together, this global community makes M-Lab possible, ensuring that anyone, anywhere, can better understand how the Internet is performing and how it can be improved.
