Marsha Berger

Marsha Berger received her Ph.D. from Stanford in 1982 and joined the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, where she became Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics. She has been a frequent visitor to NASA Ames Research Center, contributing to the development of the Cartesian cut-cell method Cart3D. In 2022, she moved to the Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation, as Senior Research Scientist in the Center for Computational Mathematics. She was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2000. 

Walter Boscheri 

Walter Boscheri obtained his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Trento in 2015, receiving the award for the best Ph.D. thesis in Computational Fluid Dynamics from the Italian Group of Computational Mechanics (GIMC). He has been awarded the Fausto Saleri Prize by SIMAI and, in 2024, the Jacques-Louis Lions Young Investigator Award by ECCOMAS. His research focuses on structure-preserving numerical methods for nonlinear time-dependent partial differential equations in computational mechanics. 

Soshi Kawai 

Soshi Kawai received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2005. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University (2007–2011) and at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (2011–2015), before joining Tohoku University. His research interests include high-fidelity numerical methods, compressible flows, turbulence, data science, and high-performance computing, with a focus on uncovering the fundamental flow physics of complex, compressible, multi-scale, and multi-physics flows.
