Cyril Banderier is a CNRS researcher at the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. He got his PhD thesis under the supervision of Philippe Flajolet, at INRIA, in 2001. He uses analytic combinatorics for problems in probability theory, combinatorial physics , or number theory, with interactions with computer algebra or analysis of algorithms. He developed the kernel method for enumeration of walks, the volume polytope density method for uniform random generation, the analysis of critical phase transitions to establish new universal limit laws with applications to trees, permutations, random graphs, walks, urns, Young tableaux, tilings. His work was rewarded a prize of the Académie des Sciences in 2013, jointly with O. Bodini and H.K. Hwang.

Abderrahmane Bendali is a member of the Mathematical Institute of Toulouse and and Scientific Consultant at CERFACS Toulouse, in Computational Electromagnetism. He was Assistant Professor at University of Algiers (1970-1979) and Appointed Researcher at the  Center of Applied Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique, France (1979-1984) and University of Pau (1990-1995).

His research topics include : integral equations for acoustic and electromagnetic waves, finite element methods, high-order radiation conditions, multi-scale problems, domain decomposition methods.

Michael Wallner got his PhD thesis in 2016, at TU Wien, under the guidance of Bernhard Gittenberger and Cyril Banderier. His thesis got the prestigious "Graduation with highest national distinction", awarded by the President of Austria.

Michael's interests lie in all areas of analytic and enumerative combinatorics, and in particular in interactions with probability theory, number theory, and interdisciplinary applications in computer science and computational biology. He studied lattice paths in one and higher dimensions, different families of trees and graphs, as well as Young tableaux and permutation patterns. 

Hatem Zaag is a senior Scientist at CNRS. He is an associated editor of the journal Advances in Pure and Applied Mathematics (APAM). He is also a local coordinator of the Laboratory of excellence (LabEx) Inflamex, dealing with inflammation.

Hatem Zaag is particularly interested in the singularities of equations with parabolic and hyperbolic partial derivatives. He is also interested in the applications of mathematics to biology.
