​Alina Carmen Cojocaru works in number theory, with a focus on problems lying at the intersection of analytic number theory with arithmetic geometry. She is the recipient of the Doctoral Prize conferred by the Canadian Mathematical Society, the Titeica Prize conferred by the Romanian Academy, and the Career Award conferred by the USA National Science Foundation. Currently, Cojocaru is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics "Simion Stoilow" of the Romanian Academy. Sorina Ionica is an associate professor of Computer Science at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne, France. Ionica's current research is focused on computational number theory and its applications to cryptography.  Her published work includes articles in the areas of elliptic curve cryptography, algorithms for small genus curves and combinatorics. Elisa Lorenzo García is an associate professor at Université de Rennes 1, France. She is interested in effective methods in number theory and algebraic geometry. She was the president (2017-2019) of the Comission of Women and Mathematics of the RSME (Spanish Math Society), and she is member of the EGMO (European Girls' Math Olympiad) Advisory Board since 2018 and of CIMPA since 2019.
