Hermie Monterde (she/her) is a PhD candidate at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba. Her research lies in the intersection of algebraic graph theory and quantum computing. She has coauthored several papers on the theory of continuous quantum walks. Apart from mathematical research, Hermie is also passionate about graduate student advocacy, as well as equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). She is the current president of the Graduate Mathematics Society and the Association for Women in Mathematics UManitoba chapter.

Homer is an M.Sc. Mathematics student at the University of Manitoba studying random walks on directed graphs and corresponding Kemeny's constant under the supervision of Prof. Steve Kirkland.

Berkant is an MSc. student interested in combinatorics and discrete mathematical biology. He had some issues writing this paragraph about himself because he also happens to be this website's admin. It is hard to talk about yourself in the third person, isn't it?

Lihini is a graduate student working on mathematical biology. She likes to spend hours modeling a system, just to find out nature had other plans.

Joshua is an MSc. student who focuses on mathematical biology, specifically on modelling breast cancer. He has previous research experience in fractional differential equations and category theory. If you're interested, you can check out a passion project of his on YouTube called "Beau Maths".

Eliza is an MSc. student with an interest in descriptive set theory, algebra, and topology. Outside of math, she enjoys reading and painting.

Chandramali Piyasundara is a PhD student at the University of Manitoba. She has a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (Sri Lanka) and an M.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Manitoba. Her research involves space-time spectral methods for partial differential equations.
