Curtis D. Bennett received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1990 in the area of groups and geometries. Since then he has held positions at Michigan State University, The Ohio State University, and Bowling Green State University, and he is currently Professor and Chair of the Mathematics Department at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Dr. Bennett has published over 30 articles in mathematics and the scholarship of teaching and learning in mathematics. He was the co-editor of the book Starting Our Careers with Annalisa Crannell and was a founding editor of the Young Mathematicians Network. He has presented at two Preparing Mathematicians to Educate Teachers (PMET) workshops, and co-presented the mini-course, A Beginners Guide to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in 2006, 2007, and 2008. In the spring of 2009, he was awarded the MAA Southern California-Nevada Section Distinguished Teaching Award.

Bennett will receive the prestigious Franklin and Deborah Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching, awarded to three MAA members each year, at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco in January of 2010

Andrea Bertozzi is Professor of Mathematics at UCLA and currently serves as Director of the Program in Computational and Applied Mathematics.
