Ivan Cheltsov is a Professor at the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, and his research interests include birational geometry and K-stability of Fano varieties. He is the author of 3 books and 126 articles 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, and Vladivostok. Since 1995, Ivan has been married to Elena Cheltsova: they have three children (Ivan, Fedor, Ekaterina) and a cat, Kuzya. Aside from Mathematics, Ivan enjoys traveling, reading, and cycling his Brompton bicycle.

Jesus Martinez-Garcia is a Senior Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Essex, United Kingdom. He obtained his PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2013 and has held research positions at the University of Bath, United Kingdom, Johns Hopkins University, United States, 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-organized more than ten research meetings, including the annual international conference AGGITatE, as well as several research seminars.
