Ivan Cheltsov is Professor at the University of Edinburgh, and his research interests include birational geometry and K-stability of Fano varieties. He is author of 3 books and 126 papers written together with 52 co-authors. Ivan has organized research meetings in Auckland, Beijing, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Fuerteventura, Istanbul, Levico Terme, London, Magadan, Melbourne, Moscow, New York, Oberwolfach, Pipa, Pohang, Easter Island, Shanghai, Sochi, Spitsbergen, Stony Brook, Sydney, Tianjin, Wakkanai, Vladivostok. Since 1995, Ivan is married to Elena Cheltsova: they have three children (Ivan, Fedor, Ekaterina) and cat Kuzya. Aside of Mathematics, Ivan enjoys traveling, reading and cycling his Brompton bicycle.
Jesus Martinez-Garcia is Senior Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Essex (UK). He obtained his PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2013 and has held research positions at the University of Bath (UK), Johns Hopkins University (US) and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (Germany). His research is in algebraic geometry with special emphasis on birational geometry, moduli spaces, K-stability, Fano varieties and computational algebraic geometry. Martinez-Garcia has written one book, several research articles and two software packages and he has co-organised more than 10 research meetings, including the annual international conference AGGITatE as well as several research seminars.
