Giacomo Albi is Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Numerical Analysis at the Department of Computer Science, University of Verona. He received his PhD from the University of Ferrara. He was recipient of the 2014 Copernico award and the UMI-INdAM-SIMAI 2017 prize. He worked at TU Munich on the project "High Dimensional Sparse Optimal Control". In 2019 he obtained a fellowship from the HIM Bonn. His research focuses on kinetic equations, hyperbolic balance laws and control of multi-agent systems.

Sara Merino-Aceituno completed a PhD in mathematics in 2015 at the University of Cambridge. She then did a post-doc at Imperial College London and got a lectureship position at the University of Sussex. Since October 2018 she is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna. She leads a research group on applications of kinetic theory to biology, funded with a Vienna Research Group grant by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund.

Alessia Nota is Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Probability at the University of L'Aquila (DISIM). Previously she has been Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Bonn and at the University of Helsinki. She has been member of the SFB project "The Mathematics of Emergent Effects" funded by the DFG and of the Cluster of Excellence Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Her research area is non-equilibrium statistical mechanics with a focus on the kinetic theory of gases and plasmas.

Mattia Zanella is Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Mathematical Physics at the University of Pavia, previously he worked at the Politecnico di Torino. After completing a PhD in mathematics in 2017 at the University of Ferrara, he received the Copernico award in 2018 and the Anile Prize in 2019. In 2019 he got a fellowship from the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics. His research interests are focused on uncertainty quantification, optimal control and kinetic models for collectivephenomena.
