Eitan Tadmor is a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. Previously, he held professorship positions at Tel-Aviv University and at UCLA, where he was the founding co-director of IPAM. He was also a Senior Fellow at ETH-ITS in Zurich, and held a FSMP Chair of excellence hosted at Sorbonne University.Tadmor’s work on the interplay between analytical theories and computational aspects of time-dependent problems, with applications to shock waves, kinetic transport, image processing and collective dynamics, was awarded the SIAM-ETH Henrici prize and AMS-SIAM Norbert Wiener prize in Applied Mathematics. He is an AMS and SIAM Fellow, and member of Academia Europaea and the European Academy of Sciences.José Antonio Carrillo is Professor of the Analysis of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations at the Mathematical Institute and Tutorial Fellow in Applied Mathematics at The Queen's College, University of Oxford. He held professorship positions at Imperial College London, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and the Universidad de Granada. He served as chair of the Applied Mathematics Committee of the European Mathematical Society. He was awarded the GAMM 2006 Richard Von-Mises prize for young researchers, a 2012 Wolfson Research Merit Award by the Royal Society, and the 2022 Echegaray Medal of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences.He works on kinetic and nonlinear nonlocal diffusion equations. He has contributed to the theoretical and numerical analysis of these PDE models, and their simulation in different applications such as collective behaviour and self-organization, and their implications in mathematical biology, control engineering and global optimization. He is a SIAM Fellow, and member of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea and the European Academy of Sciences.
