Biographical Review
Francisco Presas is a Permanent Researcher at the Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas – ICMAT (Institute for Mathematical Research). His current research interests lie in differential geometry, in particular symplectic and contact topology.
He has published around 20 research articles, in Journals such as Journal of Differential Geometry, Geometry and Topology, Krelle, etc. He has published papers in algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, contact topology, geometric quantization, etc. He is a well-known expert in the use of "approximately holomorphic techniques" in contact and symplectic topology. Quite recently, he has provided a proof of the existence of contact structures in 5 dimensional manifolds.
Francisco Presas obtained his Ph. D. thesis in Mathematics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2000. He has held full-time academic positions at Stanford University (post-doc visitor), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Ramón y Cajal position) and ICMAT
