Daniele A. Di Pietro has been a Full Professor since 2012 and Deputy Director of Institut Montpelliérain Alexander Grothendieck at the University of Montpellier (France) since 2019. He is the author of two research monographs published by Springer and more than 80 scientific papers in refereed international journals or conference proceedings. His research fields include the development and analysis of advanced numerical methods for partial differential equations, with applications to fluid and solid mechanics and porous media. Over the course of his career, he has supervised ten Ph D students and six postdoctoral fellows.     Jérôme Droniou was a Full Professor in France before moving to Monash university (Australia), where he has been an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics  since 2018, and head of the applied and computational section  since 2019. He has authored two research monographs and more than 80 peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings on theoretical and numerical analysis of partial differential equations. His current research interests revolve around the development of numerical methods for complex applications, and the design of mathematical tools to analyse the convergence of these methods. He has supervised a dozen Ph D students and postdoctoral fellows in France and Australia.
