BERG received a B.S. in Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College in 2006 and an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2008. She is currently working towards her Ph.D. in Mathematics Education. When not busy studying, doing graph theory, or teaching, she spends her time practicing Shotokan karate.Serguei NorineSERGUEI NORINE received his M. Sc. in mathematics from St. Petersburg State University, Russia in 2001 and Ph.D. from the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization program at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005. After a brief stint in finance following his graduation, he returned to academia and is now an instructor at Princeton University. His interests include graph theory and combinatorics.Francis Edward SuFRANCIS EDWARD SU received his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1995, and is now a Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College. From the MAA, he received the 2001 Merten M. Hasse Prize for his writing and the 2004 Henry L. Alder Award for his teaching, and he was the 2006 James R. C. Leitzel Lecturer. He enjoys making connections between his research in geometric combinatorics and applications to the social sciences. He also authors the popular Math Fun Facts website.Robin ThomasROBIN THOMAS received his Ph.D. from Charles University in Prague, formerly Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic. He has worked at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1989. Currently he is Professor of Mathematics and Director of the multidisciplinary Ph.D. program in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization. In 1994 he won, jointly with Neil Robertson and Paul Seymour, the D. Ray Fulkerson prize in Discrete Mathematics.Paul WollanPAUL WOLLAN received his Ph.D. in Georgia Tech's interdisciplinary Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization program in 2005.
