Pure Mathematics

Research interests

I did my doctorate studies at the University of Southampton. I hold a BSc in Mathematics by the National Autonomous University of Mexico. My current research in pure maths includes problems in algebraic topology, differential geometry and metric geometry. In particular, I’m interested in the unstable homotopy theory of mapping spaces, the topology of fibre bundles and moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics, actions of Lie groups on metric spaces and the topology and geometry of orbifolds and Alexandrov spaces.  I am also interested in theoretical problems related to persistent homology.
