Invited Speakers

Nantel Bergeron

York University, Canada

Nantel completed his Ph.D. at UC San Diego in 1990 and is now a Distinguished Research Professor at York University. His research interests are in algebraic combinatorics.

Pamela E. Harris

University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, United States of America

Pamela earned her PhD in 2012 from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, where she now serves as Professor of Mathematics. Her research focuses on enumerative and algebraic combinatorics, with particular interest in parking functions and the Kostant partition function.

Martina Juhnke

Universität Osnabrück, Germany

Martina completed her PhD in 2009 at Philipps-Universität Marburg and is currently a professor at Universität Osnabrück in Germany. Her research centers around geometric combinatorics and combinatorial commutative algebra, often involving polytopes, simplicial complexes and Stanley-Reisner rings.

Seung Jin Lee

Seoul National University, South Korea

Seung Jin completed his PhD in 2013 at University of Michigan and is currently a professor at Seoul National University. His research broadly concerns algebraic combinatorics related to other fields such as representation theory and algebraic geometry.

Vincent Pilaud

Universitat de Barcelona, Spain

Vincent completed his PhD in 2010 at Université Paris Diderot and Universidad de Cantabria and is now a researcher at Universitat de Barcelona in Spain. His research focuses on algebraic and geometric combinatorics, specifically on polytopes arising from algebraic and combinatorial structures.

Felipe Rincón

Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom

Felipe completed his PhD in 2012 at UC Berkeley and is now a professor at Queen Mary University of London. His research concerns combinatorial aspects of geometric and algebraic objects, with a focus on connections between matroid theory and tropical geometry.

Mehtaab Sawhney

Columbia University, United States of America

Mehtaab Sawhney is a Clay Research Fellow and tenure-track assistant professor at Columbia University. Mehtaab obtained his PhD under the supervision of Yufei Zhao in 2024 from MIT. Mehtaab is broadly interested in topics across extremal combinatorics.
