Jun Hu is a Boya distinguished Professor at Peking University, and CSIAM Fellow. His main research interest is in finite element methods (FEMs) of partial differential equations (PDEs). His main works include the construction and theoretical analysis of optimal, easy-to-implement, and perfectly matched mixed FEMs for elasticity, the development of the structure-preserving FEMs for the linearized Einstein-Bianchi system, and the universal construction of conforming FEMs on simplicial grids for 2(r+1)-th order elliptic PDEs in any dimension, the numerical analysis of robust adaptive FEMs for thin structures within both the Reissner-Mindlin plate model and the Kirchhoff-Love plate model, and the analysis of lower bounds of eigenvalues by nonconforming FEMs for PDEs. He serves as former President of the Beijing Society of Computational Mathematics, managing editor of Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. He is the recipient of First prize of the Natural Science Award from the Ministry of Education, the Feng Kang Prize of Scientific Computing, National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholar of PR China, the first Youth Innovation prize of China Society for Computational Mathematics and the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of PR China, and a former Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany.

Abstract
Short bio
Ilaria Perugia is Professor of Numerics of Partial Differential Equations at the University of Vienna, Austria. She earned her PhD in 1999 from the University of Milano, Italy, under the supervision of Franco Brezzi. Before moving to Vienna in 2013, she held successive faculty positions at the University of Pavia, and has held visiting appointments at the University of Minnesota and ETH Zürich. From 2016 to 2025, she served as Deputy Director of the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) in Vienna.
She serves on the editorial boards of several leading journals in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Her research focuses on the design and mathematical analysis of advanced finite element methods for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations. Her work spans standard and non-standard finite element frameworks, including discontinuous Galerkin methods, virtual element methods, Trefftz methods, and space–time methods, with a recent emphasis on applications to wave propagation problems and nonlinear reaction–diffusion systems.

Zhiguo Yang is an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Nanyang Technological University in 2017 and was a Golomb Visiting Assistant Professor at Purdue University before joining Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2020. His research lies in scientific computing and numerical analysis, with emphasis on structure-preserving spectral and spectral-element methods, fast solvers, and high-order numerical methods for highly oscillatory and multiscale partial differential equations. His work covers electromagnetic wave propagation, kinetic transport and electromagnetic–kinetic coupled systems, liquid-crystal models, and quasiperiodic moiré materials. A central theme of his research is the design and analysis of algorithms that preserve intrinsic mathematical and physical structures, including divergence constraints, conservation laws, asymptotic limits, energy stability, quasiperiodicity, and manifold geometry.
