Marilyn Vazquez Landrove completed her PhD in Mathematics at George Mason University in 2018 under the direction of Dr. Tim Sauer. Her research interests include data clustering, topological data analysis, machine learning, and computer vision. Dr. Vazquez Landrove will be at ICERM from September 2018 through May 2019 as an Institute Postdoctoral Fellow.

Shubhendu Trivedi completed his PhD in Computer Science from the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago under the mentorship of Dr. Gregory Shakhnarovich (TTI-C, primary advisor) and Dr. Risi Kondor (The University of Chicago) in August 2018. Shubhendu's research interests reside in various theoretical and applied aspects of machine learning. In particular, he is interested in the supervised learning of similarity and distance in low shot regimes, generalized group equivariant neural networks, and learning representations for combinatorial structures such as graphs; with applications in computer vision and the physical sciences. Shubhendu will be at ICERM from October 2018 to June 2019 as an institute fellow.

Guangyao Zhou completed his Ph.D. in applied math at Brown University in 2018, under the direction of Prof. Stuart Geman. His research interests include using probabilistic and statistical methods to study the folding of RNA molecules, and the concept of compositionality in probabilistic generative models for computer vision. He is currently a postdoctoral associate in applied math at Brown University, and will be at ICERM from February 2019 to May 2019 as a Semester Postdoctoral Fellow.
