קורות חיים
ד"ר מאיה נסטלבאום גז, שכתבה את עבודת הדוקטורט שלה בסורבון בפריז וזכתה עבורה לציון לשבח (summa cum laude), מתמחה בספרות, היסטוריה, לימודי יהדות ושואה.
פרסומיה בוחנים נושאים של שואה, אנטישמיות ויהדות כפי שמשתקפים ביצירותיו של הסופר הצרפתי-יהודי רומן גארי. במהלך מחקרה בצרפת, היא קיבלה אישור מיוחד לחקור בארכיונו הפרטי של רומן גארי שהופקד במנזר ארדן בעיר קאהן. המחקר בארכיון תרם רבות לעבודתה ולפרסומיה המחקריים.
החל משנת 2012 ד"ר גז היא פוסט-דוקטורנטית באוניברסיטת תל-אביב, שם היא חוקרת אספקטים של תרבות יהודית וחיי היהודים במהלך השואה ואחריה.
