Aris Daniilidis is a professor of Applied Mathematics specializing in Variational Analysis and Optimization. He held faculty positions at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the University of Chile before joining TU Wien (Austria) in 2021. Currently, he leads the research group Variational Analysis, Dynamics, and Operations Research (VADOR) and has held various visiting positions in France and Italy.Lars Grüne is a professor and the chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bayreuth (Germany). He joined the university in 2002 after previous positions at the University of Augsburg and Goethe University in Frankfurt/M, Germany. He has held visiting positions in Rome, Italy, Newcastle, and Australia.Josef Haunschmied is a senior lecturer at TU Wien (Austria) and has actively participated in multiple research projects and served as the principal investigator in four of them. His expertise spans scientific computing, optimal control of ordinary systems, operations research, mathematical programming, and mathematical modeling.Gernot Tragler is an associate professor of Operations Research at TU Wien (Austria) and focuses on dynamic optimization with applications in energy, environment, finance, health, and socio-economics. He also teaches graduate courses in Nonlinear Programming and various methods in Dynamic Optimization and their practical uses.
