Tiffany Y. Y. Lo is a postdoctoral researcher in mathematical statistics at Stockholm University, having been awarded the prestigious Sverker Lerheden fellowship in 2023 to support her work there. Her research lies at the intersection of probability theory and combinatorics, with a particular focus on random graph models and the application of Stein's method to study their properties. She has investigated the degree distributions of complex networks, including duplication-divergence and uniform attachment models, and has developed new analytical approaches for preferential attachment random trees. Prior to her current role, Lo was affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at Uppsala University, where she conducted part of her postdoctoral research. Her work has been published in leading journals such as Combinatorics, Probability and Computing and Advances in Applied Probability, and she regularly presents her findings at seminars and conferences
Kouji Yano is a Japanese mathematician and Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka, Japan. He obtained his Ph.D. in Science from Kyoto University in 2006. After holding several academic positions in Japan, he joined Osaka University, where he continues his research and teaching activities in probability theory.
Professor Yano’s work focuses on probability theory and stochastic processes, with particular emphasis on the long-term behavior of random systems. His research lies at the intersection of stochastic analysis and ergodic theory. He studies limit theorems for a wide class of processes, including diffusions, Lévy processes, random walks, and semi-Markov processes.
A central theme of his work concerns scaling limits, fluctuation theory, and occupation time distributions. He has contributed to extensions of classical probabilistic results such as Lévy’s arcsine law and has investigated penalization problems and conditional limit theorems for Markov and Lévy processes.
Through rigorous analytical methods, Professor Yano’s research advances the structural understanding of asymptotic phenomena in stochastic and dynamical systems.
Helmi Zaatra is a mathematician and faculty member at Qatar University, with an academic affiliation with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Gabès.
He holds a PhD in Mathematics and has developed research expertise in stochastic analysis, stochastic processes, probability, and stochastic modeling. His research focuses particularly on stochastic control, impulse control problems, and stochastic differential equations. His work has addressed impulse control problems involving delays, random coefficients, jumps, and risk-sensitive criteria. More recently, his research has also explored applications of stochastic control to investment management in natural-resource markets. He has published research in journals including Mathematics of Operations Research, Mathematical Control and Related Fields, and Journal of Dynamics and Games. His research combines probabilistic methods with stochastic modeling to study decision-making and optimization under uncertainty.

André is currently an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of USP (University of São Paulo), and he did his PhD in probability theory under the supervision of the late Antonio Galves — his PhD thesis can be found here. Moreover, he participates in the NeuroMat Project. The aim of the project is to develop a new approach to neuroscience — neuromathematics — conjoining probability theory, combinatorics, statistics, computer science, and neuroscience itself, in order to construct a theory of the brain that accounts for the experimental data gathered by neuroscientific research over the last decades, and more importantly for the recently emerging scientific evidence that biological neural networks behave in an inherently stochastic manner. His main scientific interests lie primarily in the realm of stochastic processes, statistical physics, and statistical/machine learning. His own work concerns past-dependent stochastic dynamics — such as the Galves-Löcherbach model and Elephant Random Walks — with a particular focus on phase transitions and metastability.
Minmin Wang is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sussex, UK. She joined Sussex in 2019, after postdoctoral positions in Buenos Aires and Bath. She obtained her PhD in Mathematics in Paris, under the supervision of Nicolas Broutin and Thomas Duquesne. Her research focuses on probability theory, particularly combinatorial probability, random trees and graphs, scaling limits, branching processes, fragmentation and coalescence. She is also a committee member of the Applied Probability Section of the Royal Statistical Society and a member of the editorial board of the Applied Probability Trust.
Siva Athreya is a distinguished Indian mathematician and probability theorist, currently Professor at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bengaluru, and Dean of Research at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR).
He obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Washington in 1998, under the supervision of Professor Krzysztof Burdzy.
His research interests lie mainly in probability theory, stochastic analysis, random walks, interacting particle systems, random graphs, and stochastic partial differential equations.
He has made important contributions to probability and its applications in statistical physics, population biology, and related areas.
Professor Athreya is a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and was awarded the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in Mathematical Sciences in 2012.

He continues to contribute to research and academic activities in probability and statistics at the Indian Statistical Institute.
Fang is a PhD student in Mathematics at the University of Zurich, supervised by Professor Jean Bertoin. Fang’s research focuses on random walks with memory and, more broadly, on understanding how past behaviour influences long-term dynamics. Fang is particularly interested in elephant random walks and models with relocation, with recent work exploring how an elephant random walk is affected by its initial “training” and how it gradually forgets this memory over time.
Renaud Lambiotte is Professor of Networks and Nonlinear Systems at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. He holds a PhD in Physics from the Université libre de Bruxelles and has held academic positions at several leading European institutions.

His research focuses on complex systems, network science, dynamics on networks, and temporal networks. His work addresses the modelling and analysis of dynamical processes on complex networks, with applications to social and brain networks. He is the co-author of several books, including A Guide to Temporal Networks and Modularity and Dynamics on Complex Networks.
In 2025, he was elected a Fellow of the Network Science Society.
