Marco A. Pérez, Ph.D.

I am a mathematician interested in several topics of Relative Homological Algebra and Category Theory, working as Profesor Adjunto Grado 3 (a.k.a. Assistant Professor or Lecturer) at the Instituto de Matemática y Estadística "Prof. Ing. Rafael Laguardia", in the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad de la República.

I am a member of the Algebra Research Group and participate actively in their weekly seminar, where sometimes I give talks related to my ongoing research projects. 

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, where I studied mathematics and completed my bachelor's degree at the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 2007. Later in 2009 I obtained my master's degree in mathematics at the Universidad Simón Bolívar. At the beginning of 2010 I moved to Canada, where I got my PhD during the spring of 2014 at the Université du Québec à Montréal, under the surpervision of André Joyal.

I have had postdoctoral experiences at MIT (Cambridge, USA), IMATE-UNAM (Mexico City) and IMERL-UdelaR (Montevideo, Uruguay).
