Panos Pardalos is a Distinguished Emeritus Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Florida, and an affiliated faculty of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science & Information & Engineering departments. He is a world-renowned leader in Global Optimization, Mathematical Modeling, Energy Systems, Financial applications, and Data Sciences. He is a Fellow of AAAS, AAIA, AIMBE, EUROPT, and INFORMS and was awarded the 2013 Constantin Caratheodory Prize of the International Society of Global Optimization. In addition, Panos Pardalos has been awarded the 2013 EURO Gold Medal prize bestowed by the Association for European Operational Research Societies. This medal is the preeminent European award given to Operations Research (OR) professionals for "scientific contributions that stand the test of time." He has also been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Award (2018–2019). The Humboldt Research Award is granted in recognition of a researcher's entire achievements to date ― fundamental discoveries, new theories, insights that have had significant impact on their discipline.
Michael Th. Rassias is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Engineering Sciences of the Hellenic Military Academy and a visiting Researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He obtained his PhD in Mathematics from ETH-Zürich in 2014. During the academic year 2014–2015, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University and the Department of Mathematics of ETH-Zürich, conducting research at Princeton. While at Princeton, he prepared with John F Nash, Jr. (Nobel Prize, 1994 and Abel Prize, 2015) the volume Open Problems in Mathematics, Springer, 2016. He has received several awards in mathematical problem-solving competitions, including a Silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad of 2003 in Tokyo. He has authored and edited several books, including the edited volume Analysis at Large jointly with A Avila (Fields Medal, 2014) and Y Sinai (Abel Prize, 2014).
