Shuichi Jimbo is a Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics of Hokkaido University. The main subjects of his research are spectral analysis, domain deformation, singular perturbation, and the Ginzburg-Landau equation.
Yasunori Maekawa is an Associate Professor of the Mathematical Institute of Tohoku University. His research is focused on partial differential equations and their relation to fluid dynamics, such as the Navier-Stokes equations and the vorticity equations, and particularly in various coherent structures appearing in high Reynolds number flows. His most recent research is on the formation of fine vortex tubes in turbulent flows and the production/dissipation of vorticity fields around the boundary of fluid domains.
