	Ive is a Professor at the Computer Science Department of University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras and has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University. Her research interests are in the area of finite fields and their applications. She has directed undergraduate research projects in computational mathematics of numerous minority students and has been involved in many activities to promote undergraduate research in mathematics. She co-founded and co-directed the REU Summer Institute in Mathematics for Undergraduates (SIMU) (1998-2002) and the REU MSRI-UP (2007-present). Ive is also a member of the US National Committee for Mathematics and of the American Mathematical Monthly Editorial Board.
Rosa Orellana, Research Director
	Rosa C. Orellana is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth College. Before arriving at Dartmouth, she won a University of California President's Posdoctoral Fellowship at UC San Diego. Her research is in algebraic combinatorics and representation theory. Recently her work has focused on the Kronecker product of two irreducible representations of the symmetric group. She has mentored numerous research students at Dartmouth College. She received the John M. Manley Huntington Memorial Award at Dartmouth for newly tenured faculty for outstanding research, teaching and mentoring. She co-founded a chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics in an effort to increase the number of women taking and majoring in mathematics at Dartmouth. She has also organized two Sonia Kovalevsky Math days at Dartmouth to encourage middle and high school girls to study mathematics.
