Thiago Holleben is a PhD student at Dalhousie University under the supervision of Sara Faridi. He began his studies at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, where he completed his undergraduate degree and obtained a master’s degree. His research interests lie at the intersection of algebra, combinatorics, and topology. He focuses on algebraic methods for proving positivity results in combinatorics and on applying combinatorial techniques to problems in commutative algebra.

Logan  Pipes is a Master’s student at Memorial University supervised by Drs. Danny Dyer and Melissa Huggan. He studies pursuit/evasion problems on graphs; in particular the game of cops and robbers and its variants. He is also interested in graph theory more generally, and has previous research experience in quantum information theory and matrix algebra. Before attending Memorial University Logan graduated from Mount Allison University with first class honours in his Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. He also serves as a general member on the CMS Student Committee.
