Nutan Limaye graduated from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India, in 2009; her advisor was Meena Mahajan. Her thesis focused on the interconnection between language classes and complexity classes. She is interested in Boolean and arithmetic circuit complexity and graph algorithms. She likes all things Japanese and has been trying to learn Japanese for the last year.

Guillaume Malod received his Ph.D. from Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in 2003; his advisor was Bruno Poizat, whose writing style he admires. His thesis focused on arithmetic circuits and coefficient functions and his scientific interests have not changed much since. He lives in Paris with his wife Asako and children Naoto and Miyuki, except when they enjoy Japan's hot and humid summer. He likes standing motionless or moving very slowly and cooking. He likes to fall asleep while listening to Anima.

Srikanth Srinivasan got his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, where his interest in the theory side of CS was piqued under the tutelage of N. S. Narayanswamy. Subsequently, he obtained his Ph.D. from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 2011; his advisor was V. Arvind. His research interests span all of TCS (in theory), but in practice are limited to circuit complexity, derandomization, and related areas of mathematics. He enjoys running and pretending to play badminton.
