	Name/Email/Affiliation	Brief note
	Hoang Tuy (edit) (htuymath.ac.vn) Department of Optimization and Control, Institute of Mathematics, VAST, Hanoi, Vietnam	Professor Tuy is a renowned researcher of the field, specially known for his pioneering work on global optimization. He is one of the author of Global Optimization: Deterministic Approaches (springer, 3rd ed., 2003)
	Ricardo H. C. Takahashi (edit) (takamat.ufmg.br) Mathematics Department, Federal University of Minas Gerais, MG, Brazil	Professor Takahashi started his career at the Electrical Engineering area, but gradually changed to pure and applied mathematics. One of his main research interests is optimization.
	Elijah Polak (edit) (polakeecs.berkeley.edu) Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California at Berkeley, CA, USA	Professor Polak's research interests lie in the area of optimization-based computer-aided design, with applications to electronic circuit design, control system design, and structural design; optimization algorithms, and systems theory. He is the author of Computational Methods in Optimization (Academic Press, 1971) and Optimization: Algorithms and Consistent Approximations (Springer, 1997).
	Michael J. Todd (edit) (mjt7cornell.edu) Cornell University	Professor Todd did important work on the development of optimization algorithms, particularly on interior-point methods. He received the George Dantzig Prize from the Mathematical Programming Society and SIAM in 1988 and (together with Nemirovski) the John von Neumann Theory Prize from INFORMS in 2003.
	Jerome Malick (edit) (jerome.malickinrialpes.fr) CNRS/INRIA	His work has been awarded the Robert Faure Prize of the French Operations Research Society (ROADEF). Every 3 years, this prize rewards a young researcher (under 35) in optimization and operations research. More details (to come) on the web page. http://www.inrialpes.fr/bipop/people/malick/
