Harini Desiraju is a postdoctoral fellow at Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) and the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia. Her research focuses on Integrable systems and conformal field theory. She graduated with a PhD from SISSA, Trieste in 2021 under the supervision of Marco Bertola and Tamara Grava. She has since held positions at University of Birmingham, UK and SLMath (formerly MSRI), US. harini-desiraju.html

Omar Kidwai is a research fellow in the Geometry & Mathematical Physics group at the University of Birmingham. He is interested in various geometric aspects of quantum field theory, particularly the role of exact WKB analysis and topological recursion in counting BPS states. He received his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2018 and spent 2018-2019 as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. He spent 2019-2022 as a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow, first at Nagoya University and then the University of Tokyo.

Gergő Nemes is a specially appointed associate professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University. His research interests include exponential asymptotics, hyperasymptotics, exact WKB analysis and special functions. He completed his PhD under the supervision of Árpád Tóth at the Central European University in Budapest. He subsequently held positions at the University of Edinburgh, at Kindai University and at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. Since 2022, he is a contributing developer of the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. https://users.renyi.hu/~gergonemes/

Phil Trinh is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, and leads a research group on the development of asymptotic methods for problems in the physical sciences. He is the current Director of the Centre for Nonlinear Mechanics at the university. His research is motivated by a range of physical applications in fluid and solid mechanics, from classical hydrodynamics and wave-structure interactions, to thin film flow and thermofluidic problems. His primary area of expertise concerns the study of problems that involve a breakdown of traditional techniques in perturbation theory requiring, e.g. the development of exponential asymptotics or asymptotics beyond-all-orders. Before coming to Bath, he held positions at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford, and the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. www.ptrinh.com
