Duván Cardona

Research & Global Engagement: I am an FWO Research Fellow at Ghent University in Belgium, funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), a Professor of Mathematics at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Xavierian Pontifical University, Bogotá-Colombia) and an Oberwolfach Leibniz Fellow at MFO, the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach in Germany. My research focuses on harmonic analysis, PDE, and control theory at the Ghent Analysis and PDE Center, led by Prof. Dr. Michael Ruzhansky. In 2024, I made a research visit to UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) under the supervision of Terence Tao. Previously, in 2022, I was a member of the Chair of Computational Mathematics at the Deusto Institute of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Enrique Zuazua. I obtained my PhD in Mathematics in August 2023 under the supervision of M. Ruzhansky and J. Delgado. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Universidad del Valle in Cali-Colombia.

Since 2022, I have served as the Scientific Director of ICMAM Latin America (International Community of Mathematicians from Latin America), an organization dedicated to connecting mathematicians from developing countries, to increase the visibility of their scientific work and provide meaningful virtual mathematical experiences. Currently, I also serve on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation (ISAAC), and I am a member of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Commission of the Colombian Mathematical Society.
