Elisabetta Barletta
is Associate Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Economy, Universit`a degli Studi della Basilicata (Potenza, Italy). She studied mathematics at Universit`a di Firenze, obtaining her degree in mathematics in 1979, under Giuseppe Tomassini. Assistant Professor at Universit`a della Basilicata since 1986, she became Associate Professor in 2003. Visiting Fellow at the University of Maryland, USA (1982-1983, working with Carlos A. Berenstein); Visiting Fellow at Indiana University, USA (1987-1988, working with Eric Bedford); Visiting Pro-fessor at Tohoku University, Japan, (2003, invited by Seiki Nishikawa). Author of over 60 research papers and of the AMS Monograph
Foliations in Cauchy-Riemann geometry
(2007), her research interests include complex analysis of functions of several complex variables, reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, the geometry of Levi ?at Cauchy-Riemann manifolds, and proper holomorphic maps of pseudoconvex domains.
Sorin Dragomir
is Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Universit`a degli Studi della, Basilicata, Potenza, Italy. He studied mathematics at the Universitatea din Bucure¸sti, Bucharest, under Stere Ianu¸s, Dumitru Smaranda, Ion Colojoar?a, Martin Jurchescu, and Kostache Teleman, and earned his Ph.D. at Stony Brook University, New York, in 1992, under Denson C. Hill. His research interests are in the study of the tangential Cauchy-Riemann (CR) equations, the interplay between the K¨ahlerian geometry of pseudoconvex domains and the pseudohermitian geometry of their boundaries, the impact of subel-liptic theory on CR geometry, and the applications of CR geometry to space-time physics. With more than 140 research papers and 4 monographs, his wider interests regard the development and dissemination of both Western and Eastern mathematical sciences. An Italian citizen since 1991, he was born in Romania, and has solid cultural roots in Romanian mathematics, while his mathematical orientation over the last 10 years strongly owes to H. Urakawa (Sendai, Japan), E. Lanconelli (Bologna, Italy), J.P. D'Angelo (Urbana-Champaign, USA), and H. Jacobowitz (Camden, USA). He is Member of Unione Matematica Italiana, American Mathematical Society, and Mathematical Society of Japan.
Mohammad Hasan Shahid
is former Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Jamia Millia Islamia (New Delhi, India). He also served at King Abdul Aziz University (Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) as Associate Professor, from 2001 to 2006. He earned his Ph.D. degree from Aligarh Muslim University (Aligarh, India), in 1988. His areas of research are the geometry of CR-submanifolds, Riemannian submersions, and tangent bundles. Author of more than 60 research papers, he has visited several world universities including, but not limited to, the University of Patras (Greece) (from 1997 to 1998) under postdoctoral scholarship from State Scholarship Foundation (Greece); the University of Leeds (England), in 1992, to deliver lectures; Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), in 2015; Universit´e De Montpellier (France), in 2015; and Universidad De Sevilla (Spain), in 2015. He is Member of the Industrial Mathematical Society and the Indian Association for General Relativity.
Falleh R. Al-Solamy
is Professor of di?erential geometry at King Abdulaziz University (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia). He studied mathematics at King Abdulaziz University and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wales Swansea (Swansea, UK), in 1998, under Edwin Beggs. His research interests concern the study of the geometry of submanifolds in Riemannian and semi-Riemannian manifolds, Einstein manifolds, and applications of di?erential geometry in physics. With more than 54 research papers to his credit and coedited 1 book titled,
Fixed Point Theory, Variational Analysis, and Optimization
, his mathematical ori-entation over the last 10 years strongly owes to S. Deshmukh (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), Mohammad Hasan Shahid (New Delhi, India), and V.A. Khan (Aligarh, India). He is Member of the London Mathematical Society, the Institute of Physics, the Saudi Association for Mathematical Sciences, the Tensor Society, the Saudi Computer Society, and the American Mathematical Society.
