(Tentative) Program for CICM 2024

Andrew Granville is "Distinguished Researcher" of the Centre de Recherches mathematiques in Montréal, and has been a researcher chair at both University College London and the University of Georgia. He has about 200 papers in pure mathematics, primarily in number theory, but also in theoretical computer science, combinatorics, cryptography, harmonic analysis, arithmetic geometry and discrete geometry. He has also published several books including the mathematical comic book "Prime Suspects" (PU press, 2019). Recently he has been helping lead the discussion on the effect of AI on pure mathematics (for example, editing the April and July 2024 special issues of the Bulletin of the AMS), leading to interesting interactions with the AI and philosophy communities.

Jen Paulhus currently works in areas of math including automorphisms of Riemann surfaces, Jacobian varieties of curves and group theory, particularly computational aspects of these areas. She is a managing editor of a massive online mathematical database called the L-functions and modular forms database which, among other things, aims to represent objects from number theory in ways that allow for exploration and discovery of connections between these objects. After earning a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a postdoc at Kansas State University, she joined the faculty at Grinnell College where she is a professor. She has also spent time at universities in Chile as a Fulbright Scholar. She is moving to Mount Holyoke College this summer. When she isn't thinking about math, she likes to lift heavy weights, bake desserts, and hang out with her cats (named after mathematicians, of course).

Jacques Carette got his B.Math. at the University of Waterloo, M.Sc. at the Université de Montréal and a Ph.D. from the Université de Paris-Sud. He worked in industry for several years, most notably for 11 years at Maplesoft Inc, before joining McMaster University in 2002. His research spans building mechanized mathematical systems, metaprogramming, obscure programming languages and, on occasion, game design. He enjoys cooking, billiards, programming and travelling.
