Speakers

Silvia Gazzola is a Reder (Associate Professor) at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Bath, UK. Before joining Bath she held a PostDoc position at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, and she got a PhD in  Computational Mathematics from the University of Padova in 2014, with a thesis on regularization methods based on Krylov subspaces – since then her research has been focusing on many aspect of standard and non-standard Krylov methods for use in inverse problems in imaging; in particular she made many contributions regarding the choice of hyperparameters in variational regularization methods, and in the theory and practice of flexible and inexact Krylov methods for regularization.

Vanni Noferini – Aalto University, Helsinki.

Vanni Noferini obtained his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2012, and is currently Associate Professor in Mathematics at Aalto University, Finland. Before joining Aalto in 2019, he worked as a Postdoctoral            Research Associate at the University of Manchester, UK (2012-2015) and as a Lecturer (Research) at the University of Essex, UK (2015-2019). He got tenured twice, at Essex in 2018 and at Aalto in 2023.

Vanni authored 58 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 7 more articles currently under review; he was invited to present more than 40 talks at international conferences or workshops, including 5 invited plenary talks; and he has thus    far received 10 competitive grants or awards in his career. Vanni is the Editor-in-Chief of The Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra and a member of the editorial boards of SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications and of Linear    Algebra and Its Applications.

Alicia Roca Martínez– Universitat Politècnica de València
Alicia Roca is an Associate Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de València. She obtained her PhD in Mathematics in 2003 with a dissertation on the assignment of invariants to control systems via state feedback and output injection over arbitrary fields.

Her research activity has focused on inverse matrix problems and pole assignment in control systems, matrix pencil completion and perturbation problems, as well as polynomial and rational matrix completion problems. She has also worked on the study of lattices of invariant subspaces and on Cryptography.

She is the author of numerous peer-reviewed research publications. She has participated in and contributed to the organization of minisymposia at many national and international conferences, some of them by invitation. She has carried out research stays at the University of Coimbra, the University of Lisbon, and the University of Zurich.
