Terence Tao has been the author or co-author of over three hundred research papers. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians and has been referred to as the "Mozart of mathematics".

Toro was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010. She became a Guggenheim Fellow in 2015. She was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to geometric measure theory, potential theory, and free boundary theory". At the University of Washington, she was the Robert R. & Elaine F. Phelps Professor in Mathematics from 2012 to 2016 and is currently the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professor. Toro was named MSRI Chancellor's Professor for 2016–17. She was awarded the 2020 Blackwell-Tapia Prize. She was elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 2020. From 2023, and for a long period, she will be the Vice-President of the International Mathematical Union.

He was a recipient of the 2007 ISAAC Prize. In 2010 he was awared with the Daiwa Adrian Prize (by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation). He was awarded twice with the   Ferran Sunyer I Balaguer Prize (in 2014 and in 2018). In 2021 he was a Methusalem Laureate  by the BOF program at the Ghent University. Michael is a committed scientific in supporting the mathematical carrear of young mathematicians, specially, those from developing countries. He was awarded in 2018 with the FWO Odysseus 1 grant  and in 2021 with the BOF Methusalem Grant (the first winner in mathematical sciences in the history of Belgium).

Professor Dos Santos Ferreira obtained his PhD in 2012 at the Université de Rennes, under the supervision of Nicolas Lerner. He spent several periods at the University of Chicago as well as in other recognized research centers like the Institute for Advanced studies, the MSRI, the Field Institute, the Mittag Leffler Institute and the École Normale Supérieure.  

•  In 1988 he got the PhD degree at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, funded by a doctoral fellowship of the Basque Government and a Research Grant from the Jacques Louis Lions Chair at the Collège de France.  He has been awarded the Euskadi (Basque Country) Prize for Science and Technology 2006 and the Spanish National Julio Rey Pastor Prize 2007 in Mathematics and Information and Communication Technology and the Advanced Grants by the European Research Council (ERC) NUMERIWAVES in 2010 and DyCon in 2016. He is an Honorary member of the Academia Europeaea and Jakiunde, the Basque Academy of Sciences, Letters and Humanities, Doctor Honoris Causa from the Université de Lorraine in France and Ambassador of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. 

• He was an invited speaker at International Congress of Mathematics ICM2006 in the section on Control and Optimization.

• From 1999-2002 he was the first Scientific Manager of the Panel for Mathematics within the Spanish National Research Plan and from 2008-2012 he was the Founding Scientific Director of the BCAM – Basque Center for Applied Mathematics.

• In 2022, Enrique Zuazua was awarded with the W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize by SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics).

• He is also a member of the Scientific Council if a number of international research institutions such as the CERFACS in Toulouse, France and member of the Editorial Board in some of the leading journals in Applied Mathematics and Control Theory.

In 1985, Donaldson received the Junior Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society. In 1994, he was awarded the Crafoord Prize in Mathematics. In February 2006, Donaldson was awarded the King Faisal International Prize for science for his work in pure mathematical theories linked to physics, which have helped in forming an understanding of the laws of matter at a subnuclear level. In April 2008, he was awarded the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics, a mathematics prize awarded by Northwestern University. In 2009 he was awarded the Shaw Prize in Mathematics (jointly with Clifford Taubes) for their contributions to geometry in 3 and 4 dimensions. In 2014, he was awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics "for the new revolutionary invariants of 4-dimensional manifolds and for the study of the relation between stability in algebraic geometry and in global differential geometry, both for bundles and for Fano varieties. In January 2019, he was awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry. In 2020 he received the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. In 1986, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and received a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Berkeley. In 2010, Donaldson was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He was knighted in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to mathematics. In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. In March 2014, he was awarded the degree "Docteur Honoris Causa" by Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble. In January 2017, he was awarded the degree "Doctor Honoris Causa" by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. 

Professor Carlos Kenig obtained his PhD at the University of Chicago in 1978 under the supervision of Alberto Calderón. Since then, he has held positions at Princeton University and the University of Minnesota before returning to the University of Chicago in 1985. He has done extensive work in elliptic and dispersive partial differential equations. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2014. His students include Zhongwei Shen, Kin Ming Hui, Gigliola Staffilani and Panagiota Daskalopoulos. He is the current President of the International Mathematical Union.

He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2003 under the direction of Henryk Iwaniec and Peter Sarnak with the thesis Root numbers and the parity problem. Helfgott was a post-doctoral Gibbs Assistant Professor at Yale University from 2003 to 2004. He was then a post-doctoral fellow at CRM–ISM–Université de Montréal from 2004 to 2006.  Helfgott was a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and then Reader at the University of Bristol from 2006 to 2011. He has been a researcher at the CNRS since 2010, initially as a chargé de recherche première classe at the École normale supérieure before becoming a directeur de recherche deuxième classe at the Institut Mathématique de Jussieu in 2014. He was also an Alexander von Humboldt Professor at the University of Göttingen from 2015 to 2022. In 2013, he released two papers claiming to be a proof of Goldbach's weak conjecture; the claim is now broadly accepted. He was included in the 2019 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to analytic number theory, additive combinatorics and combinatorial group theory"
