PRESENTATION

I am an Argentine mathematician living in Rio de Janeiro, and working at UFF (Niterói) since 2016. 

I got my PhD at UBA (Buenos Aires) in 2010 and wrote my Thesis about Homotopy Theory and Category Theory under the advice of Gabriel Minian. I had postdoc experiences at IMPA (Rio de Janeiro), IST (Lisbon), UU (Utrecht) and CRM (Barcelona). A more detailed CV can be consulted in my CNPq Lattes

If you want to contact me please write me at mldelhoyo at id.uff.br.


RESEARCH

I am a CNPq PQ1D Fellow since 2018. From 2019 to 2021 I hold a FAPERJ APQ1 grant, and from 2021 to 2024 I was a JCNE Fellow.  

My research areas are Mathematical Physics, Algebraic Topology, Differential Geometry, and Category Theory.  I work with Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids, and their role in Poisson and Symplectic Geometry. A list of my papers and citations is available at my Google Scholar profile, and my preprints can be downloaded from arXiv.org

I have collaborated with the following colleagues and friends: Henrique Bursztyn (IMPA), Alejandro Cabrera (UFRJ), Rui Loja Fernandes (UIUC), Gabriel Minian (UBA), Cristian Ortiz (USP), Enrique Pujals (IMPA), Davide Stefani (Jussieu), Mateus de Melo (UFSCar), Daniel Lopez (IMPA), Giorgio Trentinaglia (IST) and Fernando Studzinski (USP).


TEACHING

I teach at UFF both for undergraduate and graduate students. 

Here are some drafts of concise lecture notes (in Portuguese) on Espaços Métricos and Álgebra Linear. I am just writing them, please feel free to use them, and let me know of any comments, corrections, or suggestions you may have. 

The courses I have taught for graduate students are Topologia das Variedades, Geometria Simplética, Teoria de Lie and Topologia Algébrica (PhD), and Álgebra Linear and Introdução à Topologia  (Master).

I also taught Grupóides e Algebróides de Lie (PhD) twice at IMPA, jointly with H. Bursztyn.


ADVISING

I am currently advising Rafael Hernandez Bolaños (UFF, Master) and also co-advising Dario Aza (UBA, PhD) with Federico Quallbrunn.

I formerly advised Juan Desimoni (UFF, PhD, 2023). I also co-adivsed Daniel Lopez (IMPA, Master, 2017) and Mateus de Melo (IMPA, PhD, 2019) with Henrique Bursztyn, and Caio Magalhães (UFG, Master 2024) with Ricardo de Oliveira. I also supervised Cristian Cárdenas (UFF, Postdoc, 2019) and Eduardo Velasco Barreras (UFF, Postdoc, 2020).

If you want to work with me send me a message. We can discuss many problems and ideas, and I can help you apply for fellowships.
