Daniele Di Pietro has been full professor since 2012 and is presently Director of Institut Montpelliérain Alexander Grothendieck at University of Montpellier (France). He is author of 3 research monographs published by Springer and of over 80 scientific papers published in refereed international journals or conference proceedings. He currently serves as associate editor for Numerical Algorithms (Springer). His research fields include the development and analysis of advanced numerical methods for partial differential equations, with applications to fluid and solid mechanics and porous media. Over his career, he has supervised 10 Ph.D. students and 6 post-doctoral fellows. Luca Formaggia is Full Professor of Numerical Analysis since 2006 at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He is author of more than 100 publications and Editor of 5 scientific Books published by Springer-Nature and Birkhauser.  His scientific work addresses the study of numerical methods for partial differential equations, scientific computing, computational fluid dynamics with applications to computational geosciences, biomedicine and industrial problems. Currently, he is the President of the Italian Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics and was the Head of the MOX Laboratory of Politecnico di Milano from 2012 to 2016. Over his career, he has supervised around 40 among Ph D students and post-docs. He is the co-Char of the 19th edition of the SIAM Conference on Mathematical and Computational Issues in the Geosciences. Roland Masson is full professor of Mathematics at the University Côte d’Azur since 2011, member of the Jean-Alexandre Dieudonné department of Mathematics and of the Inria team Coffee. He was previously head of the Applied Mathematics department of the Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP) from 2000 to 2011. He received his Ph D in Mathematics from Sorbonne University in 1999 and his Habilitation from Paris East University in 2006. He is an expert in numerical methods and scientific computing for subsurface flow and transport problems.
