Christopher D. Hacon is a distinguished professor at the University of Utah. He is a recipient of the 2007 Clay Research Award, the 2009 Cole Prize, and the 2011 Antonio Feltrinelli Prize in Mathematics, Mechanics and Applications. He has been a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2012. Mircea Mustaţă is a professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. In addition to being a fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2012, he was a Clay Research Fellow (2001–4) and a Packard Fellow (2006–11). Mihnea Popa is a Professor of Mathematics at University of Illinois, Chicago. Starting in 2014, he will hold the same position at Northwestern University. He was a recipient of a Clay Liftoff Fellowship in 2001, an AMS Centennial Fellowship 2005–7, and a Sloan Fellowship 2007–9.
