Editorial BoardOn behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we arelooking forward to welcoming you to Technische UniversitätBerlin in 2016. Let Berlin inspire you with thecreative atmosphere of this fascinating city!Contact: Volker Mehrmann (mehrmann@math.tu-berlin.de),Chairman of the 7ECM Local Organising Committee.an ERC Advanced Grant. His research interests are numericalmathematics/scientific computing, applied andnumerical linear algebra, control theory and the theoryand numerical solution of differential-algebraic equations.He is also Chairman of the Research Center Ma t h -e o n and Vice-President of the Society of Applied Mathematicsand Mechanics.©TU Berlin PressestelleVolker Mehrmann (mehrmann@math.tu-berlin.de), Chairman ofthe 7ECM Local OrganisingCommittee, earned his PhD in1982 at the University of Bielefeld.Since 2000, he has been a professorat the Technische UniversitätBerlin.

In this position, she coordinatesthe work of the LocalOrganising Committee.New Members of the Editorial BoardRamla Abdellatif currentlyholds a research and teachingposition (AGPR or agrégéepréparatrice)at the Ecole NormaleSupérieure de Lyon, whereshe moved after completing herPhD thesis under the supervisionof Guy Henniart in Orsay (UniversitéParis-Sud 11). Her mainresearch interests are p-modularand p-adic representations of p-adic groups and theirbehaviour in the setting of the Langlands programme,as well as their connections with p-modular representationsof finite groups. Besides her research and teachingactivities, she is actively involved in mentoring activitiesand the dissemination of mathematics and science foryounger people, especially (but not only) schoolchildrenand high-school pupils.Vladimir Salnikov is a researcherat the University of CaenLower Normandy (France). Hiswork for his PhD thesis concernedtwo major topics: gradedgeometry in theoretical physics– in collaboration with ThomasStrobl (Lyon) – and constructivemethods in analysis of integrablesystems – in close contact withSergey Stepanov (Moscow). His current research interestsinclude generalised geometry, various aspects ofdynamical systems and some applications in physics andmechanics. Vladimir is the Lavrentiev 2012 Prize winner,which permitted him to organise a workshop in Rouenon integrability in dynamical and control systems.Since the early stages of his career, Vladimir has alsobeen involved in teaching for graduate students and athigh school. He also actively participates in a number ofactivities for a general audience aimed at the popularisationof science, such as the “Why Maths?” exhibition.Vladimir’s webpage can be found at http://www.vladimir-salnikov.org/.EMS Newsletter June 2015 5
