Eshan Chattopadhyay received his Ph.D. from UT Austin in 2016 under the supervision of David Zuckerman. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton and the Simons Institute for Theory of Computing till 2018. Since 2018, he has been a faculty at Cornell University. His research interests lie primarily in pseudorandomness and its applications to complexity theory, cryptography, and coding theory. His hobbies include traveling and playing cricket.

Pooya Hatami is a postdoctoral researcher at UT Austin hosted by David Zuckerman. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2015 under the supervision of Alexander Razborov and Madhur Tulsiani. He has also spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and DIMACS at Rutgers University. His research interests lie broadly in theoretical computer science, particularly the role of pseudorandomness and randomness in computational complexity. He spends most of his spare time climbing rocks and plastic.

Kaave Hosseini is a Ph.D. candidate at UC San Diego under the supervision of Shachar Lovett. He obtained his undergraduate degree in mathematics and computer science at Sharif University of Technoogy, Iran. His research interests lie in additive combinatorics and computational complexity. He is mostly interested in approximate algebraic structures, the structure vs. randomness dichotomy, and pseudorandomness. He likes world music and plays Djembe (a West African drum), and also thinks he is still young enough to be a good gymnast.

Shachar Lovett received his Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2010 under the supervision of Omer Reingold and Ran Raz. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study until 2012. Since 2012, he has been a faculty at the University of California, San Diego. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER award and a Sloan fellowship. His research is broadly in theoretical computer science and combinatorics. In particular: computational complexity, randomness and pseudo-randomness, algebraic constructions, coding theory, additive combinatorics and combinatorial aspects of high-dimensional geometry. He is happily married and has three kids.
