About:
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 more than 50 research articles, in Journals such as Journal of Differential Geometry, Geometry and Topology, Krelle, Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, 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. He has quite recently provided a number of results about flexibility in contact and Engel topology, contributing to create and develop that field.
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
