Léo Belzile
HEC Montréal

Léo Belzile is an assistant professor in the department of Decision Sciences at HEC Montreal and a member of the Statlab group. He is an active member of the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC).

He obtained his PhD from EPFL under the supervision of Prof. Anthony Davison in 2019. His research focuses on extreme value analysis, notably software implementation, spatial modelling, and Bayesian and likelihood-based methods for the modelling of rare events.

Jake Levinson
Université de Montréal

Jake Levinson is an assistant professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at the Université de Montréal and a member of LACIM.

Before joining the Université de Montréal in 2023, he was an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University, and held postdoctoral positions at the University of Washington and at UQAM. He completed his PhD at the University of Michigan in 2017.

His research is in combinatorial algebraic geometry, particularly on using combinatorics related to moduli spaces (notably Grassmannians and moduli spaces of curves) and to enumerative problems in algebra, geometry and representation theory.

Alina Stancu
Concordia University

Alina Stancu is professor of mathematics at Concordia University, and member of the CRM’s analysis lab, working in the area of geometric analysis.

Before joining Concordia University, she has held positions as NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Case Western Reserve University, Associate Research Scientist Fellow at the Courant Institute, and Assistant Professor at University of Massachussetts, Lowell. She has served as director of the Institut des sciences mathématiques (2015-2018), as member and chair of several committees of the Canadian Mathematical Society and was involved in several outreach activities.

Her research interests lie in the areas of convex and differential geometry, pertaining particularly to isoperimetric-type problems, affine inequalities and curvature flows.
