Dr. Manas Kar is an assistant professor at IISER Bhopal. He obtained his M.Sc from TIFR-CAM in Bangalore. He obtained his PhD from Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM), in Austria. He held two post-doctoral positions in University of Jyvaskyla, in Finland and National Taiwan University. His research lies in Analysis of Partial Differential Equations. He is interested in nonlinear inverse problems, in particular, p-Laplace type problems. He works on problems such as inclusion detection, interior uniqueness for the conductivity, construction of complex geometrical optics solutions in 2D, boundary uniqueness for the higher order normal derivatives of the conductivity for weighted p-Laplace equations.

Prof. J. K. Verma is a professor in the department of Mathematics at IIT Bombay. After graduating from Purdue University in 1987, he held the position of assistant professor at University of Kansas and Louisiana State University before joining IIT Bombay in 1990. Prof. Verma has made fundamental contributions  in commutative algebra and related areas. He found an interesting connection between the Rees algebras and mixed multiplicities which enriched the study of Hilbert functions. Besides several awards and honours, Prof. Verma has been a member of several scientific committees including SERB, UGC, NBHM, INSA, RMS, to name a few.

Prof. Dootika Vats is an assistant professor in the department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. She's the 2021 recipient of the Blackwell-Rosenbluth award. She did her PhD from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities with Prof. Galin Jones and she was an NSF postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Gareth Roberts at the University of Warwick. Prof. Vats' research centres upon Markov chain Monte Carlo, Output Analysis for Stochastic Simulation, and Stochastic Optimization. 

 Prof. Sylvy Anscombe is maîtresse de conférences at Université Paris Cité, and a member of the Équipe de Logique in the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu–Paris Rive Gauche. Her research interests lies in mathematical logic, particularly in model theory, and its connections to algebra and number theory.  

 Dr Sutanu Roy is currently a Reader-F faculty at NISER, Bhubaneswar. After doing his M.Sc from IIT Guwahati,he obtained his PhD from Georg-August Universitat, Gottingen under the supervision of Prof. Ralf Meyer. He was a Fields-Ontario postdoctoral fellow at Fields Institute (2014), University of Ottawa (2015), Carleton University. Also he was a visiting scientist at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. Dr.Roy’s research focus mostly lies on Topological Quantum groups, Noncommutative Geometry, Operator Algebra.

 He was awarded the Fields-Ontario Postdoctoral fellowship (2014), Inspire faculty award by DST (2016), Early Career Research Award by SERB (2017), INSA medal for young scientists (2020). He is a very good speaker and has given several public lectures, apart from specialised lectures and guided many students for their PhD, MS thesis. 

Prof. Anirban Mukhopadhyay, currently a member of the faculty at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Chennai), pursued his doctoral studies at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute (Allahabad) and postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Chennai). His area of research is Number Theory and in particular Analytic Number Theory.
