Charlotte Aten received her PhD from the University of Rochester in 2022 under the direction of Jonathan Pakianathan. Her research interests lie at the intersection of universal algebra, combinatorics, and category theory. She enjoys exploring connections with algebraic topology, computer science, and logic.

 

Spencer Daugherty completed their PhD at North Carolina State University in 2024, advised by Laura Colmenarejo (NCSU) and Sarah Mason (WFU). Their research interests are enumerative and algebraic combinatorics, in particular, combinatorial Hopf algebras, quasisymmetric and noncommutative symmetric functions, the Tamari lattice, parking functions, and chromatic symmetric functions.
 

Juan Villarreal received his PhD in 2018 at the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, under the direction of Reimundo Heluani. His research interests include Lie groups, Lie algebras and their geometry with a focus on the study of infinite dimensional algebras and vertex algebras.
