Santiago O. Guisasola received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Central Florida and Ph.D. in Mathematical Behavioral Sciences from the University of California, Irvine. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Physical-Mathematical Sciences from the UMSNH, a MSc in Applied Mathematics, and a PhD in Mathematics from the UAM-Iztapalapa, where I obtained the University Merit Medal. 

I did a research internship at the Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas in Cuernavaca, another at the Center Interuniversitaire de Recherche sur les Reseaux d'Entreprise, la Logistique et le Transport at the University of Montreal, and one more at the Postgraduate Engineering and Systems (PISIS) of the UANL. 

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics at ITAM.  I wrote my thesis about the Stokes Theorem in Manifolds under the supervision of Ricardo Berlanga Zubiaga.

For my Master’s degree in Mathematics at PUC-Rio, Brazil, the subject of study of my thesis, under the supervision Paul A. Schweitzer, was Thurston´s Geometric Models for 3-Manifolds.

PhD in Mathematics, emphasis in Computer Graphics, by the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA), working at the Visgraf lab. MsC in Production Engineering, emphasis on Management and Innovation, by the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute of Postgraduate Studies in Engineering of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (COPPE / UFRJ). BS in Applied Mathematics with honors by the Mexico Autonomous Institute of Technology (ITAM).

Associated Professor on the field of Numerical Analysis. He has been visiting scholar at Rice University in Houston, Texas and Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. He has organized several international meetings on Numerical Optimization. He pursued   bachelor and master degrees on Mathematics for the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and master and doctoral degrees for Rice Univesity in Houston, Texas,  on Applied Mathematics.

Before becoming an associate professorship at the Department of Mathematics at ITAM, I was a postdoc first at the Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic at the University of Vienna, then at Fields Institute for Mathematical Sciences, (where I was awarded the Jerrold E. Marsden Postdoctoral Fellow during the Thematic Program on Forcing and its Applications) and finally at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D in Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics from th University of Barcelona under the supervision of David Asperó and Joan Bagaria.

João Pedro Morais is a Portuguese mathematician who works in the areas of Clifford and Quaternionic analysis. In 2000, he began his postgraduate studies in Applied Mathematics and Computing at the University of Aveiro (Portugal). During the third year of studies, he was invited to complete these studies at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics, Bauhaus University of Weimar (Germany), through the ERASMUS Program. In this institution, he obtained his doctorate in mathematics with magna cum laude in 2009.

Maira Madriz Mendoza, was born in Mexico City on September 3, 1979. She studied mathematics at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. She obtained both, her Master's degree in Mathematics in 2007 and her Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2012, at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, UAM. She specialized in Topology, more precisely in topics of convergence, under the direction of Prof. Richard Wilson Roberts.

César L. García did undergraduate studies in mathematics (BS) at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) and graduate studies (MSc and PhD) in mathematics at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Cesar Garcia has been a visiting scholar at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) at Berkeley, California and visiting professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Mexico State University. His research interest are on the geometry of Banach spaces, concentration of measure phenomena, Minkowski geometry, matrix analysis, and mathematical exposition.

He did his undergraduate studies (with honours) and his master studies in the Mathematics Department of the Science Faculty of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM, and his Ph. D. studies at the Mathematics Institute of the UNAM. During his Ph. D. studies he did a research stay, in Topology, from September 2007 to July 2008 in “The University of Toledo”, in Toledo, Ohio, USA. In June 2013 he did another research stay, also in Topology, in “The University of Delaware”, in Newark, Delaware, USA.
