Claudia Miller is a Professor at Syracuse University and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is a leading author in homological commutative algebra with connections to algebraic topology and algebraic geometry and has supervised several Ph.D students. Janet Striuli is an Associate Professor at Fairfield University and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Kansas. Her research interests lie in commutative algebra and its interactions with homological algebra. She has been Program Director at the National Science Foundation. Emily Witt is an Associate Professor at the University of Kansas and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Michigan. Her research is centered in commutative algebra, though it is motivated by connections with algebraic geometry, representation theory, and singularity theory. She currently holds an NSF CAREER Award.
