Hello! My name is Patricio Gallardo Candela. I am an assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside. My mathematical interests in algebraic geometry include moduli theory and its interplay with Hodge theory and combinatorics. I am also working on interactions between algebraic geometry and other fields. For example, I have co-developed software for research in quiver representations and am part of a group that studies the mathematical structure of neural networks. You can reach me at pgallard at ucr.edu. My preferred pronouns are he/him/el. My CV can be found here

My algebro-geometric research is funded by the NSF grant DMS-2316749. My work in the interface of AI and mathematics is funded by an OASIS Funding Award (OASIS-IFA), which is held in collaboration with Dr. Maziar Raissi. My work in outreach and education is supported by a Tensor MAA grant, which is held in collaboration with Dr. Esther Banaian.

Thirty years ago, my family crossed the desert without legal documentation in search of a better life. I am grateful to everyone who helped them during that time. I also thank all those who assist immigrants and refugees today.
