Huy Tuan Pham is currently a Clay Research Fellow based at Stanford University. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2023 where he was advised by Jacob Fox. Before that, he obtained an MASt in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in 2019 and a BS in Mathematics and MS in Statistics at Stanford University in 2018.
Huy’s main research interest is in probabilistic and extremal combinatorics, and related applications in probability theory, additive combinatorics and number theory, and theoretical computer science. His recent works focus on the study of thresholds in random discrete systems and connections to suprema of stochastic processes. Other themes of his recent works include applications of the regularity method in the study of thresholds and large deviations in random graphs, and the use of probabilistic ideas to resolve long-standing conjectures of Erdős in additive number theory.
He is a recipient of the 2024 Dénes König Prize and the ICBS Frontiers of Science Award in Mathematics.

Tomasz S. Mrowka is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he has been on the faculty since 1994. He studies the analytic and topological aspects of gauge theories in particular their applications to questions in the topology of 3 and 4 dimensional manifolds.  He and his long time collaborator Peter Kronheimer have  received the Veblen Prize in Geometry, the Doob Prize in mathematical exposition and the Leroy P. Steele Prize for seminal contributions all from the American Mathematical Society.  Mrowka is a member of the of the United States National Academy Of Sciences and a fellow of the America Academy of Arts and Sciences and held the Guggenheim fellowship.

Gigliola Staffilani is the Abby Rockefeller Mauze Professor of Mathematics at MIT since 2007. She received the B.S. equivalent from the University of Bologna and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. Following a Szegö Assistant Professorship at Stanford, she had faculty appointments at Stanford, Princeton and Brown before joining MIT in 2002.
Staffilani is an analyst, with a concentration on dispersive nonlinear PDEs. At Stanford, she received the Harold M. Bacon Memorial Teaching Award in 1997, and was given the Frederick E. Terman Award for young faculty in 1998. She was a Sloan fellow in 2000-02. Staffilani was member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1996 and 2003, and member of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University in 2010.
In 2013 Staffilani was elected member of the Massachusetts Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the AMS, and in 2014 member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2017 she received a Guggenheim fellowship and a Simons Fellowship in Mathematics. In 2018 she received the MIT Earll M. Murman Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising and in 2021 she was elected member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Professor Richard Taylor is an algebraic number theorist primarily interested in the connections between Galois representations and automorphic forms. He is currently the Barbara Kimball Browning Professor in Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University.
He received a BA from Cambridge University (1983) and a PhD from Princeton University (1988). Before joining Stanford he held faculty positions at Cambridge University, Oxford University (Savilian Professor of Geometry), Harvard University (Herchel Smith Professor of Mathematics) and the Institute for Advanced Study (Robert and Luisa Fernholz Professor).
He has received the Ostrowski Prize (2001), the Prix Fermat (2001), the Cole Prize in Number Theory (2002), the Dannie Heinemann Prize of the Gottingen Academy of Sciences (2005), a Clay Research Award (2007), the Shaw Prize in Mathematics (2007) and the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics (2014). He is a member of the Royal Society (since 1995), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (since 2012), the National Academy of Sciences (since 2015) and the American Philosophical Society (since 2018).
