André Lichnerowicz Prize in Poisson Geometry 2018

Abstract

Eva Miranda (eva.miranda@upc.edu) is an ICREA Academia Professor at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, an Honorary Doctor Vinculado at ICMAT-Madrid and a Chercheur Affilié at Observatoire de Paris. Eva Miranda is the Director of the Laboratory of Geometry and Dynamical Systems at UPC and a member of the Governing Board of the Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematics. In 2017, she was awarded a Chaire d'Excellence of the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris and an ICREA Academia Prize. Eva Miranda's research is at the crossroads of differential geometry, mathematical physics and dynamical systems. Her area of expertise is symplectic and Poisson geometry. She works with objects at the interface of geometry and physics such as integrable systems and group actions acquainting for symmetries of the systems. Her research deals with geometric and dynamic aspects of the singularities arising in symplectic and Poisson manifolds, as well as with mathematical models for their quantisation. During the period 2010-2018, she has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Newsletter of the EMS.
