For some additional context:

Vincent Rijmen and Joan Daemen are the co-designers of AES. Later, they collaborated with Gilles Van Assche and Michaël Peeters to design NOEKEON for the NESSIE competition [1]; simultaneously Rijmen worked with Paulo S. L. M. Barreto to design the WHIRLPOOL hash function [2], which became a NESSIE recommendation.

Daemen, Van Assche, and Peeters were joined by Guido Bertoni to create the hash function RadioGatún [3] from Daemen and Craig Clapp's old stream cipher PANAMA [4]. The same team refined the design into Keccak [5], a 'sponge function' primitive they invented [6] that forms the basis of SHA-3.
