Dražen Adamovic is Full Professor of Mathematics at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. He received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Zagreb. He is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed research publications on the representation theory of vertex algebras, W-algebras, and infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, with special emphasis on vertex algebras appearing in conformal field theory.
Paolo Papi is Full Professor of Geometry at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. He received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Pisa. He is the author of more than 40 peer-reviewed research publications on Lie theory, algebraic combinatorics, representation theory of Lie algebras, and superalgebras, with special emphasis on combinatorics of root systems and infinite dimensional structures (affine Lie algebras, vertex algebras).
