Since September 2023, I am a Hill Assistant Professor at Rutgers University, mentored by Paul Feehan. From August to December 2024, I was on leave to join SLMath (former MSRI) as a Postdoc for the program Special Geometric Structures and Analysis.
I obtained my DPhil at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Jason Lotay and Andrew Dancer, from 2019 to 2023 . Before, I did a MASt in Pure Mathematics (Part III) at University of Cambridge, and a  Double Bachelor in Mathematics and Physics at the Complutense University of Madrid (for which I obtained the National Award for Excellence in Academic Performance for the best academic record in Mathematics in Spain, and third best academic record in Physics in Spain).
I have also been awarded the Vicent Caselles Prize by the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society and the BBVA Foundation (2025).
My full name is Izar Alonso Lorenzo, but in academic environments I normally only use my first surname.
