Vasilisa Shramchenko serves as Full Professor and Associate Director of Graduate Studies and Research in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sherbrooke. Her work bridges advanced algebraic geometry with mathematical physics, focusing on structural frameworks governing complex systems. Educational background: Master of Science in Mathematics, St. Petersburg State University (2000) Ph.D. in Mathematics, Concordia University (2005) Her research program integrates Frobenius manifolds, integrable systems, and Riemann surface theory through the lens of isomonodromic deformations and Riemann-Hilbert problems. Key contributions include foundational work on Hurwitz spaces, Painlevé equations, and Eynard-Orantin topological recursion, revealing deep connections between algebraic curves, moduli spaces, and differential equations. This interdisciplinary approach extends to combinatorial enumeration and quantum field theory applications. Publication trends indicate sustained focus on algebro-geometric methods for solving nonlinear systems, with recent work emphasizing cluster algebras and superelliptic curve structures. Her output consistently appears in high-impact journals spanning mathematical physics and pure mathematics. Scientific recognition: No awards explicitly documented in source material Administrative leadership in graduate studies complements her research role, though specific grant funding or advisee information remains unreported. She actively contributes to the Algebraic and Geometric Structures Research Team and the Sherbrooke Mathematics Circle, fostering collaborative exploration of mathematical frontiers.

Gwen Grinyer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science at the University of Regina. As a CAP Fellow, she leads an active research program focused on nuclear structure and astrophysics of rare isotopes, utilizing major international facilities including TRIUMF (Canada), GANIL (France), FRIB (USA), and ISOLDE (Switzerland). Her research encompasses ultra-high precision measurements to test the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, high-resolution gamma-ray and charged particle spectroscopy for studying exotic nuclei in-beam reactions and decays, and the design of state-of-the-art instrumentation for rare isotope investigations. These studies address fundamental questions about nuclear force evolution at stability extremes and nucleosynthesis in explosive astrophysical events like neutron-star mergers and supernovae. Dr. Grinyer teaches undergraduate courses including Electricity and Magnetism (PHYS 201), Electromagnetism I (PHYS 311), and Nuclear Physics (PHYS 432), while actively recruiting motivated students for summer research projects, M.Sc./Ph.D. theses, and postdoctoral fellowships. Scientific Awards: CAP Fellow (Canadian Association of Physicists) She maintains significant collaborative ties with global rare-isotope facilities, indicating successful grant acquisition for experimental campaigns, though specific funding sources are not detailed. Her research group emphasizes hands-on instrumentation development and data analysis for frontier nuclear physics experiments.
