Dr. Kim Jongerius serves as Professor of Mathematics and Department Chair at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, where she approaches mathematics as both an art and language to foster effective communication. Her interdisciplinary background bridges mathematical rigor with humanities perspectives, earning her the 2005 Northwestern Teaching Excellence Award for creating supportive, laughter-filled classrooms that bring out students' best. Her academic credentials include: Ph.D. in Mathematics from Colorado State University M.S. in Mathematics from Colorado State University B.S. from Northern Arizona University with double majors in Mathematics and English, plus a German minor Research spans algebraic geometry and commutative ring theory, evolving into interdisciplinary explorations of mathematics through literary and theological lenses. She investigates how concepts like infinity and dimension intersect with philosophical frameworks, particularly through Christian perspectives, while maintaining core interests in mathematical communication and pedagogy. Publication trends reveal a trajectory from foundational algebraic geometry research (1990s) toward humanistic mathematics and education-focused scholarship (2020s). Recent works emphasize mathematical minds' development and interdisciplinary connections, while her 2011 book chapters for Mathematics Through the Eyes of Faith demonstrate enduring integration of faith and mathematical concepts. Professional recognition includes: Teaching Excellence Award, Northwestern College (2005) As Associate Editor for the Dolciani Exposition Series in Mathematics since 2000 and former ACMS president (2011-2013), she actively shapes mathematical discourse. Her mentorship extends beyond academics through personal engagement like hosting student dinners, reflecting her commitment to holistic student development within Northwestern's community-oriented environment.

Dr. Jason Aufdenberg is an Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Program Coordinator for the B.S. in Astronomy & Astrophysics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's College of Arts & Sciences, Physical Sciences Department. He has over 30 years of experience in stellar astrophysics research and has held prestigious postdoctoral fellowships including the Michelson Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories and the CfA Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. His educational background includes: Ph.D. in Physics from Arizona State University M.S. in Physics from the University of Toledo Dr. Aufdenberg specializes in stellar astrophysics, with particular expertise in stellar spectroscopy, stellar interferometry, and stellar atmospheres. For over three decades, he has been developing and using the PHOENIX general stellar atmosphere code to produce models for many of the brightest stars in the night sky, including Sirius, Deneb, Mirzam, Adhara, Vega, Spica, and Merak. His research has successfully modeled the extreme ultraviolet spectral energy distribution of Adhara and contributed to one of the first interferometric limb-darkening measurements of Vega, confirming it as a pole-on rapidly rotating star. Recently, he has expanded his research to include stellar intensity interferometry through the VERITAS collaboration. Dr. Aufdenberg has received recognition through fellowships and memberships in professional organizations including: American Astronomical Society International Astronomical Union Sigma Xi (Scientific Research Honor Society) His scholarly work has resulted in over 40 peer-reviewed publications in astrophysics journals, spanning traditional astronomical research and interdisciplinary work in sustainable transportation. As an educator, Dr. Aufdenberg teaches a variety of courses in physics and astronomy and mentors undergraduate researchers in the Astrophysics Lab. Beyond his academic work, he is passionate about public astronomy outreach and bicycle advocacy in the Daytona Beach community.

Christoph Baxa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Vienna, where he has been a faculty member since 2000. His academic career at the University of Vienna began in 1990 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics, then moved to the Department of Mathematics in 1992, where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2000. He maintains an active research profile and teaching load, with courses scheduled through 2025. Dr. Baxa completed his academic training at the University of Vienna, earning his M.A. in 1990 with a thesis on prime representing functions and Hilbert's Tenth Problem, his Ph.D. in 1994 on the discrepancy of sequences (nα), and his Habilitation in 2000 on estimates for discrepancies of special uniformly distributed sequences. His research focuses on Number Theory, particularly Uniform Distribution Theory, Discrepancy Theory, Continued Fractions, and Diophantine Approximation. His work often connects number theory with mathematical logic, as evidenced by his early research on Diophantine representations. His recent scholarly activity is dominated by book reviews for Monatsh. Math., covering diverse areas including algebraic geometry, number theory, history of mathematics, and mathematical education. Dr. Baxa has received several prestigious awards including the Ph.D. sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae, the Würdigungspreis from the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research, the Jubiläums-Studienpreis from the Austrian Mathematical Society, and the Edmund und Rosa Hlawka Preis from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He has held research grants from the Austrian Science Fund and was an Erwin Schrödinger Fellow at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 2001-2003. As a professional service, he has been a regular reviewer for Mathematical Reviews since 1996 and reviews books for Monatsh. Math. He is a member of numerous mathematical societies including the AMS, DMV, EMS, LMS, ÖMG, and SMF.
