About me

I am an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC), where I have been teaching since September 2021. I was accredited by ANECA as "Contratado Doctor" in 2023. I currently hold one "Sexenio de Investigación" (2018-2023) and one "Quinquenio Docente" (2018-2022).

You can contact me via email at pedro.chocano@urjc.es, and I am located in Office 025, Departamental II, Móstoles Campus. 

I am happily married to a statistician, and we have three parakeets and a dog. We are strong advocates for adoption, and our pets have been adopted from shelters. If you are considering adopting or just helping, I encourage you to visit Zarpas y Colmillos, an organization dedicated to finding loving homes for animals in need. 

Education

I graduated in Mathematics  from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2015. I completed my Master's studies in 2016 and my PhD under a FPI grant, also at the Complutense University of Madrid. During my PhD, I undertook a research stay of three months at Jagiellonian University (Poland) udner the supervision of Marian Mrozek.

Research

My research interests include algebraic topology, group theory, posets, dynamical systems, fixed point theory, computational topology, programming and robust statistics. If you want to know more, click here!

Organization

I organize reading courses and seminars for students. During the 2023/2024 academic year, I organized a course on Algebraic Topology. Currently, I am organizing a course on Homology and Topological Data Analysis, held on Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 at Departmental II, Office 028. If you are interested in attending, please contact me at  pedro.chocano@urjc.es.
