Robert Cardona

Robert Cardona is an Assistant Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona since September 2023.

The research developed by Robert Cardona focuses on the dynamical and geometrical properties of Hamiltonian and ideal fluid dynamics, and on topological aspects of contact and symplectic manifolds. It combines different fields such as differential topology, differential geometry, and dynamical systems. His Ph.D. thesis, defended in May 2021 under the supervision of Professor Eva Miranda, studies geometrical and dynamical properties of Euler flows and other topics such as Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic manifolds. The core of the thesis contains foundational works directly related to some of the main goals of this research project, such as the study of computability aspects in hydrodynamics and other contributions to the universality features of the Euler equations.

He has been invited as a speaker to several international conferences and seminars organized by prestigious international institutions, such as the City University of New York, the Fields Institute of Mathematics, the Institut de Mathématiques Jussieu, the Institute for Advanced Studies, and the University of Geneva. In 2019, he was the recipient of the Évariste Galois prize from the Catalan Society of Mathematics for his research in mathematics, and in 2023 of the Vicent Caselles award from the Real Sociedad Matemática Española.
