Associated Professor on the field of Numerical Analysis. He has been visiting scholar at Rice University in Houston, Texas and Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. He has organized several international meetings on Numerical Optimization. He pursued   bachelor and master degrees on Mathematics for the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and master and doctoral degrees for Rice Univesity in Houston, Texas,  on Applied Mathematics.

Before becoming an associate professorship at the Department of Mathematics at ITAM, I was a postdoc first at the Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic at the University of Vienna, then at Fields Institute for Mathematical Sciences, (where I was awarded the Jerrold E. Marsden Postdoctoral Fellow during the Thematic Program on Forcing and its Applications) and finally at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D in Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics from th University of Barcelona under the supervision of David Asperó and Joan Bagaria.

João Pedro Morais is a Portuguese mathematician working in the areas of Clifford and quaternionic analysis. In 2000, he started his undergraduate studies in Applied Mathematics and Computation at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Aveiro (Portugal). During the third year of studies he was invited to complete his undergraduate studies at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (Germany) through the ERASMUS Programme. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (Germany) in 2009.

Maira Madriz Mendoza, was born in Mexico City on September 3, 1979. She studied mathematics at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. She obtained both, her Master's degree in Mathematics in 2007 and her Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2012, at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, UAM. She specialized in Topology, more precisely in topics of convergence, under the direction of Prof. Richard Wilson Roberts.

César L. García did undergraduate studies in mathematics (BS) at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) and graduate studies (MSc and PhD) in mathematics at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Cesar Garcia has been a visiting scholar at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) at Berkeley, California and visiting professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Mexico State University. His research interest are on the geometry of Banach spaces, concentration of measure phenomena, Minkowski geometry, matrix analysis, and mathematical exposition.

He did his undergraduate studies (with honours) and his master studies in the Mathematics Department of the Science Faculty of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM, and his Ph. D. studies at the Mathematics Institute of the UNAM. During his Ph. D. studies he did a research stay, in Topology, from September 2007 to July 2008 in “The University of Toledo”, in Toledo, Ohio, USA. In June 2013 he did another research stay, also in Topology, in “The University of Delaware”, in Newark, Delaware, USA.
