Jeremy Hoskins is an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago, where he is affiliated with the Committee on Computational and Applied Mathematics (CCAM). His research lies at the intersection between mathematics, physics, and computation. He focuses on fast algorithms and numerical analysis and their applications to quantum optics, lens design, glaciology, computational biology, and inverse problems. 

Hoskins received the Sloan Fellowship in 2025 and the National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellowship in 2022. Prior to UChicago, Hoskins was a Gibbs Assistant Professor at Yale University from 2017 to 2020. He received his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2017, where his thesis received the Proquest Distinguished Dissertation Award and the Peter Smereka Prize. Before Michigan, he received his MSc in mathematics and his BSc in mathematics and physics from the University of British Columbia. 

Christina Athanasouli is an assistant professor in the Mathematics & Statistics Department at Williams College. Previously, she was a Hale Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her mentor was Rachel Kuske. 

Dr. Athanasouli earned her PhD in Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics at the University of Michigan. Her advisors were Victoria Booth and Daniel Forger. While at UMich she also obtained the Graduate Certificate in Computational Neuroscience.  

Dr. Athanasouli's interests lie in the intersection of Applied Dynamical Systems, Bifurcation Theory with applications in Mathematical Neuroscience and Mechanics, and Mathematical Modeling.
