Carlos Velázquez
Carlos is a Ph.D. student in the Graduate Program in Mathematical Sciences at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). His research interests include global analysis, geometric analysis, Sobolev spaces on vector bundles, trace theorems, bounded geometry, variational methods, and partial differential equations on manifolds.
His current work focuses on intrinsic approaches to Sobolev spaces and nonlinear elliptic equations in geometric settings, connecting techniques from differential geometry, functional analysis, and variational calculus. He teaches undergraduate courses at the Faculty of Sciences of UNAM and has assisted in graduate courses related to nonlinear analysis and variational methods on Riemannian manifolds.
David González
David has a Profesor Contratado Doctor position at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Prior to that, he did his thesis at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid under the direction of Luis Guijarro, and held a postdoc position at the Université de Fribourg under the supervision of Anand Dessai. David's research focuses on spaces of positive curvature.
Jimmy Petean
Jimmy obtained his PhD in Mathematics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1997 under the supervision of Claude LeBrun. His doctoral research focused on applications of Seiberg–Witten theory to the classification of indefinite Kähler–Einstein complex surfaces. He subsequently held a postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. Since 1998, he has been a researcher at the Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT), where his work centers on differential geometry and geometric analysis.
Karla García
Karla earned her undergraduate degree in Mathematics and her master’s degree in Mathematical Sciences at UNAM-CU. She later completed her PhD at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany and held a postdoctoral position supported by DGAPA-UNAM. She is currently a full-time professor at FES Acatlán, UNAM.
Masoumeh Zarei
Masoumeh Zarei received her PhD from Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, Iran, in 2015, under the supervision of S. M. B. Kashani and Fernando Galaz-Garcia. Following her doctoral studies, she held postdoctoral research positions at several institutions, including BIMCR, Peking University (China), the University of Augsburg, the University of Münster, and the University of Hamburg in Germany. She is currently a researcher at the University of Hamburg, where she continues her research activities.
María del Mar González
María del Mar is a Full Professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). She received her PhD from Princeton University and has held academic and research positions as a Bing Instructor at the University of Texas at Austin, a Juan de la Cierva Research Fellow, and an Assistant Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).
She was awarded the BBVA Foundation Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators (currently the Leonardo Fellowships) in 2016. In 2023, she received the Prize from the Foundation of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences (FRACE) for Young Female Scientific Talent.
Padi Fuster Aguilera
Padi is an NSF MPS Ascend postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research interests are Partial Differential Equations and Riemannian Geometry.
Padi is passionate about making mathematics a more community-based and inclusive discipline. She co-founded the conference “Math For All” with the main goal of creating a welcoming environment for learning and discussing mathematics, and she also co-founded “Meet a Mathematician”— a collection of video interviews to mathematicians from historically excluded backgrounds. When not doing mathematics, Padi enjoys playing electric guitar and screen printing.
Raquel Perales
Raquel earned her PhD in Mathematics from Stony Brook University in 2015. For seven years, she served as a Researcher for Mexico at the Instituto de Matemáticas, Unidad Oaxaca, UNAM. Since January 2024, she has been part of the Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas. She has also participated as principal investigator of the Austrian emerging project A New Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & Beyond.
Victoria Pelayo Alvaredo
Victoria is a 3rd year PhD student at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Her research interests lie at the intersection of Riemannian geometry, metric geometry, and high-dimensional convex geometry. She is particularly interested in concentration of measure phenomena, and the role of symmetry in geometric problems.
