P. G. ROMEO is Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kochi, Kerala, India. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Kerala, India, in 1993, under the guidance of Prof. K. S. S. Nambooripad. His major research interests include semigroup theory, representation theory of groups and algebras, universal algebras and category theory. During his illustrious career as researcher and professor for three decades, Prof. Romeo taught a wide variety of courses ranging from freshman-level calculus to advanced graduate courses in algebra, representation theory and topology. He guides students for doctoral research and has been publishing extensively in peer-reviewed international mathematical journals. He has also given invited lecturers at various international and national conferences and is a member of the Indian Mathematical Society and the Executive Trustee to the Mathematics and Statistics Science Trust, Kerala.
MIKHAIL V. VOLKOV is Professor and Chair of the Department of Algebra and Theoretical Computer Science at the Institute of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Russia,. With over 150 papers and influential survey articles, he has published textbooks in algebra, automata, combinatorics on words and formal languages. He is the managing editor of the Semigroup Forum, the main international journal in semigroup theory published by Springer and is also on the editorial boards of renowned international journals of mathematics. He has given around 100 invited lectures at conferences and has had extended visiting positions in Australia, Austria, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Poland and the USA. In 2017, Prof. Volkov was elected as a foreign member to the Finnish Academy of Science and Letter; and appointed as Mercator Professor at the University of Trier, Germany, by German ResearchFoundation in 2019.
