Alice Chang is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, specializing in aspects of mathematical analysis ranging from harmonic analysis and partial differential equations to differential geometry. Before teaching at Princeton, she held visiting positions at University of California-Berkeley; Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J.; and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland. She served at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology as a visiting professor in 2015. In 2017, Prof. Chang's life was profiled in the documentary film Girls Who Fell in Love with Math.

Craig S. Kaplan is a computer scientist, mathematician, and mathematical artist. He is an associate editor of /Journal of Mathematics and the Arts/ (formerly editor-in-chief), and an organizer of the Bridges Conference on Mathematics and Art. He is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo.

Prof. Kaplan's work focuses primarily on applications of geometry and computer science to visual art and design. He was part of the team that proved that the tile discovered by hobbyist David Smith is a solution to the einstein problem: it is a single shape that tiles the plane, but cannot do so periodically.

Bryna Kra is the Sarah Rebecca Roland Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University.  Prof. Kra served as the president of the American Mathematical Society from 2023 to 2025.  She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a foreign corresponding member of the Chilean Academy of Sciences.  Her research centers on dynamical systems and ergodic theory. In particular, Prof. Kra has made significant contributions to the structure of dynamical systems and has used this to address problems in number theory and combinatorics.

Philip Siller has served on the Fields Board since 1994, as Chair of the Board since 2020. Siller received his Ph.D. in mathematics (model theory) in 1973 from the University of Minnesota. He later earned an LL.B. from the University of Toronto and practiced corporate and commercial law in Toronto. Since 1992, Mr. Siller has been the president of his own venture-management firm, Hexagram & Co.. From 2006-09, he served as Co-CEO of Eastport Capital Corp., a unit of Goldman Sachs & Co. in New York. Currently, he is Co-CEO and Co-founder of BroadRiver Asset Management, L.P., a manager of non-correlated alternative fixed-income investments for institutional investors.

Mr. Siller is a member of the International Advisory board of the Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Faculty of Law, Hebrew University (Jerusalem). 

Kirill Zaynullin is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa. He is a leading international expert in several areas of mathematics, specifically: the theory of linear algebraic groups, torsors and twisted flag varieties, oriented cohomology, algebraic cycles and motives, and generalized Schubert calculus. In addition to his many publications, he was named a fellow of the European Post-Doctoral Institute, I.H.E.S., France 2001-2003, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany 2004-2005. In 2010-2012 he received the NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement grant. In 2011-2016, he was the recipient of the Government of Ontario Early Researcher Award. In 2016, he won the University of Ottawa Faculty of Science Excellence in Research Award.
